2) solve the above for y.
3)find and interpret the y-intercept

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given that selling price of each mug(x) is $10

Selling price of each shirt(y) is $20.

Jake wants to earn atleast $250 for his team, So we can write

(1)  10x+20y\geq 250

(2) Now the above inequality can be solved for y as follows:

10x+20y\geq 250\\\text{Add -10x on both the sides}\\10x+20y-10x\geq 250-10x\\20y\geq 250-10x\\\text{Divide both the sides by 20}\\y\geq 12.5-0.5x\\y\geq -0.5x+12.5

(3)

By the observing the above equation that we just solved for y, we can say that It has an y-intercept of 12.5, and a negative slope of 0.5. Y-intercept of 12.5 means, jake must sell atleast 13 shirts to achieve the target.

prohojiy [21]
<span>To find the answer to this equation, use the result of "27 people" who prefer tea. This is equivalent to 3 out of 10 people in the whole survey sample. Using equivalent fractions to find the total sample, we see that "3/10 = 27/x." Multiplying 3 by 9 gives 27, so multiplying 10 by 9 gives a total sample size of 90 people.</span>

Consider two competing firms in a declining industry that cannot support both firms profitably. Each firm has three possible cho
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

a) attached below

b)  ( T,T )

c) The Pure-strategy Nash equilibria are : ( N,E ) and ( E,N )

d) The mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 1 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 )

while the mixed -strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 2 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

A) write down the game in matrix form

let: E = exit at the industry immediately

     T = exit at the end of the quarter

     N = exit at the end of the next quarter

matrix is attached below

B) weakly dominated strategies is ( T,T )

C) Find the pure-strategy Nash equilibria

The Pure-strategy Nash equilibria are : ( N,E ) and ( E,N )

D ) Find the unique mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium

The mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 1 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 )

while the mixed -strategy Nash equilibrium for Firm 2 = ( 1/3 , 0, 2/3 ) since T is weakly dominated then the mixed strategy will be NE

Assume that P is the probability of firm 1 exiting immediately ( E )

and q is the probability of firm 1 staying till next term ( N ) ∴ q = 1 - P.

hence the expected utility of firm 2 choosing E = 0 while the expected utility of choosing N = 4p - 2q .

The expected utilities of E and N to firm 2 =

0 = 4p - 2q = 4p - 2 ( 1-p) = 6p -2 which means : p = 1/3 , q = 2/3
