Answer:
a) Gold = $1,380; Silver = $1,020
b) Gold = $1,300; Silver = $980
Explanation:
a) At first, with Qg = 60 and Qs = 270, the equilibrium prices for gold and silver are found by solving the following linear system:
Equilibrium price of gold is $1,380 and the price of silver is $1,020.
b) If the supply of gold increases to 120, since the goods are substitutes, there will be an increase in overall supply and the equilibrium price of gold and silver will decrease as follows:
Equilibrium price of gold is $1,300 and the price of silver is $980.
Answer: The probability that 25 or more out of 50 high speed chases result in minor or major accidents is 0.097807364 or 9.781%.
The rate of accidents at 0.40 is a constant rate, and hence we can use the binomial distribution to calculate the probability.
The formula for computing the probability with the binomial distribution is:
where
N is number of trials = 50
p is probability of of a hit in a single trial. In this case, p = 0.40
q is probability of of a miss in a single trial. Now for this question
x will take on the whole numbers from 25 and continue upto 50
The questions asks us to compute the probability that 25 or more chases will result in an accident.
We express this as P( X≥ 25) mathematically.
We can also express P( X≥ 25) as P (x=25) + P(x=26) + ................ + P(50) i.e the sum of all the individual probabilities when x assumes each of the values from 25 upto 50.
That's why x will take on each of the whole numbers from 25 to 50.
We can compute P( X=25) by substituting the values in the formula above.
Similarly we need to compute the probabilities for x =26, 27 and so on until x =50. The sum total of all these probabilities the answer.
