According to one economic model, the demand for gasoline is a linear function of price. If the price of gasoline is p # $3.10 pe

r gallon, the quantity demanded in a fixed period of time is q - 65 gallons. If the price is $3.50 per gallon, the quantity of gasoline demanded is 45 gallons for that period.
a) Find a formula for q (demand) in terms of p (price).




b) According to this model, at what price is the gas so expensive that there is no demand.

Your first line calculation is already true but reversed. The demand will decrease (that mean the formula would be minus) by 20 gallons for every $0.4 price increase, which means 50 gallons/$. To find the formula you need to insert one sample of either the first equation (65gallon and $3.1) or 2nd equation (45 gallons and $3.5). The formula for demand should be:

q= C - 50p
65 gallon= C- 3.1 * 50 
C= 65 gallon + 155 gallon= 220 gallon

The formula would be:
q= 220- 50p

So the second question can be solved by putting 0 on the Q. It would be:
q= 220- 50p
0=220-50p
50p=220
p= $4.4

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

In statistics, The Type II error occurs when the null hypothesis is false, but fails to be rejected.

Given : Suppose the null hypothesis, H_0, is: Darrell has enough money in his bank account to purchase a new television.

Then , Type II error in this scenario will be when the null hypothesis is false, but fails to be rejected.

i.e. Darrell has not enough money in his bank account to purchase a new television but fails to be rejected.

The cost to purchase a song from iTunes is $0.99 per song. To purchase a song from Napster, you must be a member. The Napster me
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

It will take 100 songs for the monthly price of Napster to cost the same as iTunes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create two equations to represent iTunes (T(d)) and Napster (N(d)):

T(d)=0.99d

N(d)=0.89d+10

In order for us to find when the two prices will be the same, let's set the equations equal to each other and solve for x:

0.99d=0.89d+10

0.1d=10

d=100

</span><span>The sum of these five batting averages is 1.754:
x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x = 1.754

From the table:
x1 = 0.357
x2 = 0.372
x3 = 0.350
x4 = 0.349
x = ?

<u>0.357 + 0.372 + 0.350 + 0.349 + x = 1.754</u>

1.428 + x = 1.754
