ook and enrolled in 30 credit hours of coursework at a price of ​$350 per credit hour. In​ 2018, the typical student continued to purchase 10 textbooks and enroll in 30 credit​ hours, but the price of a textbook rose to ​$120 per​ book, and the tuition price increased to ​$390 per credit hour. The base year for computing a​ "student price​ index" using this information is 2017.

Answer:

  • 2017 Price Index is 100
  • 2018 Price Index is 111

Explanation:

The Price Index for any given Base year is always 100. 2017 is staed to be the base year so it's price index is 100.

2018

The Student Price Index can be calculated using the formula;

SPI = \frac{cost of basket of goods in the year of interest}{Cost of the basket of goods in the base year}  * 100

= \frac{(10 * 120) + (30* 390)}{(10 * 110) + (30 * 350)} * 100

= \frac{12,900}{11,600} * 100

= 111.21

= 111

Using the midpoint method described in the textbook, find the cross-price elasticity of demand for FedEx and UPS overnight shipp
maksim [4K]

Answer:Cross Elasticity of Demand = 0.56

Explanation:

Cross Elasticity of Demand = Percentage change  in quantity demanded/Percentage change  in price .

Using the midpoint formulae

Percentage change  in quantity  of UPS=Q2 - Q1/ Q2+Q1/2

=1,300,000 - 1,200,000/(1,300,000 + 1,200,000)/2=0.1/1.25 =0.08

Percentage change  in Price of  FedEx = P2 -P1/ (P1+P2)/2

=75-65/(75+65)/2=10/70=0.1428

Cross Elasticity of Demand = Percentage change  in quantity demanded/Percentage change  in price .

=0.08/0.1428 = 0.56

Here  the cross elasticity of demand is positive, which trells us that   FedEx and UPS are substitute goods.

Suppose 52% of students support the idea of paying student government officers. A random sample of 400 students is taken. What i
jeka94

Answer: The probability that fewer than 50% of the students surveyed will express support for paying student government officers is 8.501 × 10^-65

Explanation:

Since fifty two percent (52%) of the surveyed students support the idea of paying student government officers, it consequently means that 48% (100% - 52%) of students are against the idea or not in support of it.

To find the probability that less than or fewer than fifty percent (< 50%) of the 400 surveyed students are in support, we must obtain the actual number of students that represent 50% of the individuals surveyed.

= (50/100) × 400

= 200 students.

Therefore, we are to find the probability that less than 200 of the surveyed students are in support of the payment. This means that at least, 201 of the surveyed students are not in support of the payment.

Since, 48/100 generally represents the percentage of students that are not in support of the idea, then we multiply 48/100 by itself up to 201 times. The opinions of the other 199 surveyed students doesn't matter

= (48/100)^201

= 8.501 × 10^-65
