After widespread press reports about the dangers of contracting "mad cow disease" by consuming beef from Canada, the likely econ
omic effect on the U.S. demand curve for beef from Canada is:
1 answer:
Answer:
The demand curve will shift to the left (reduce)
Explanation:
Shift in demand results from change in other factors affecting demand except for price.
There are wide-spread reports of contacting mad cow disease by consuming beef from Canada. This will result in a general decrease in the quantity of beef demanded (shift in demand to the left). At all prices there will be less demand for Canadian beef.
This is illustrated in the attached diagram.

Answer:
a-The average weekly profit is $1767.31
b- The probability of having a weekly profit of more than 2000 is 0.1587 or 15.87%.
Explanation:
a
The weekly average profit for the simulation is given where first the values are simulated using R which is given as below:
x<-round(rnorm(n,m,s))
Here
- round converts all the values of the simlation to integer.
- rnorm is the command for simulation
- n is the number of values which is 52 in this case
- m is the mean of the values which is 35
- s is the value of standard deviation which is 5 cases.
The values of x are as follows
[1] 36 49 30 29 34 36 32 28 32 29 32 27 40 32 30 37 43 30 42 30 31 34 36 38 28 29 32 42 36 35
[31] 37 41 34 39 37 46 34 44 45 41 41 29 36 38 35 32 36 39 30 38 40 27
Now using these values, the average of the simulation values is cacluated as follows:
mean(x)
35.3462
Now using this with the value of profit of $50 gives:
Average Profit=$50 x 35.3462
Average Profit=$1767.31
The average weekly profit is $1767.31
b-
First number of cases are required so that the value will be greater than 2000 it is given as
Number of cases=2000/50=40
So firstly the Z-score is calculated which is as below:
Now the probability is given as
The value of P(Z<1) is calculated from the table which is given as
0.84134
So the equation becomes
So the probability of having a weekly profit of more than 2000 is 0.1587 or 15.87%.
