Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "3".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Percentage demand,

= 6% i.e., .06

Percentage change in the price,

= 2% i.e., .02

Now,

Own-price elasticity of demand will be:

= $\frac{Percentage \ demand}{Percentage \ change \ in \ price}$

On substituting the estimated values, we get

= $\frac{.06}{.02}$

= $3$

marusya05 [52]

The probability that students who were randomly selected studied for the test, if they pass it with a B or higher grade is: D. 0.80.

<h3>How to calculate the probability?</h3>

In this exercise, you're required to determine the probability that students who were randomly selected studied for the test, if they pass it with a B or higher grade. Thus, we would apply Bayes's theorem.

Let S represent studied for.

Let B represent a score of B or higher grade

Therefore, we need to find P(S|B):

$S|B = \frac{B|S \times S}{B|S \times S\; +\; B|S' \times S'} \\\\S|B = \frac{0.55 \times 0.6}{0.55 \times 0.6 \;+ \;0.2 \times 0.4}\\\\S|B =\frac{0.33}{0.33 + 0.08} \\\\S|B =\frac{0.33}{0.41}$

S|B = 0.80.

<u>Complete Question:</u>

At the beginning of the semester, a professor tells students that if they study for the tests, then there is a 55% chance they will get a B or higher on the tests. If they do not study, there is a 20% chance that they will get a B or higher on the tests. The professor knows from prior surveys that 60% of students study for the tests. The probabilities are displayed in the tree diagram.

If taxes reduce consumer and producer surplus as well as create a deadweight loss, do we need them? Explain why or why not.

juin [17]

Answer:

Tax revenue is the dollar amount of tax collected. For an excise (or, per unit) tax, this is quantity sold multiplied by the value of the per unit tax. Tax revenue is counted as part of total surplus. Because the tax alters the quantity that is sold in the market, it will result in a deadweight loss.The effect of the tax on the supply-demand equilibrium is to shift the quantity toward a point where the before-tax demand minus the before-tax supply is the amount of the tax. A tax increases the price a buyer pays by less than the tax. A tax causes consumer surplus and producer surplus (profit) to fall.
