The residents of a certain dormitory have collected the following data: People who live in the dorm can be classified as either

involved in a relationship or uninvolved. Among involved people, 10 percent experience a breakup of their relationship every month. Among uninvolved people, 15 percent will enter into a relationship every month. What is the steady-state fraction of residents who are uninvolved

Answer:

The steady state proportion for the U (uninvolved) fraction is 0.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be modeled as a Markov chain, with two states:

U: uninvolved

M: matched

The transitions probability matrix is:

\begin{pmatrix} &U&M\\U&0.85&0.15\\M&0.10&0.90\end{pmatrix}

The steady state is that satisfies this product of matrixs:

[\pi] \cdot [P]=[\pi]

being π the matrix of steady-state proportions and P the transition matrix.

If we multiply, we have:

(\pi_U,\pi_M)*\begin{pmatrix}0.85&0.15\\0.10&0.90\end{pmatrix}=(\pi_U,\pi_M)

Now we have to solve this equations

0.85\pi_U+0.10\pi_M=\pi_U\\\\0.15\pi_U+0.90\pi_M=\pi_M

We choose one of the equations and solve:

0.85\pi_U+0.10\pi_M=\pi_U\\\\\pi_M=((1-0.85)/0.10)\pi_U=1.5\pi_U\\\\\\\pi_M+\pi_U=1\\\\1.5\pi_U+\pi_U=1\\\\\pi_U=1/2.5=0.4 \\\\ \pi_M=1.5\pi_U=1.5*0.4=0.6

Then, the steady state proportion for the U (uninvolved) fraction is 0.4.

Using the Taylor rule, if inflation is 1 percent, desired inflation is 2 percent, and output is 2 percentage points below potent
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

1.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Taylor rule, the federal funds rate targeted by the Fed is:

FFR = 2+AI+0.5*(AI-DI)+0.5PD

Where AI is the actual inflation (1%), DI is the desired inflation (2%) and PD is the deviation from potential (2%):

FFR = 2+1+0.5*(1-2)+0.5*(-2)\\FFR=1.5\%

The Fed should target a federal funds rate of 1.5%.

I need help with this last question.
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

length=1 m

base of triangle=10 m

height=5m

volume= 1/2×10×5×1=25 m cube.

slant height l=√(5²+5²)=√50=5√2

slant surface area=2[5√2×1]=10√2

area of front and back=2×1/2(10×5)=50

total surface area=50+10√2≈50+14.14≈64.14 m²
