The quantity demanded x each month of Russo Espresso Makers is 250 when the unit price p is $138. The quantity demanded each mon

Stells [14]

Answer:

(a) $D(q)=\frac{-1}{25} q+148$

(b) $S(q)=\frac{1}{50}q+58$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) For the demand equation D(q) we have

P1: 138 Q1: 250

P2: 108 Q2: 1000

We can find m, which is the slope of the demand equation,

$m=\frac{p_{2} -p_{1} }{q_{2} -q_{1} }=\frac{108-38}{1000-250} =\frac{-30}{750}=\frac{-1}{25}$

and then we find b, which is the point where the curve intersects the y axis.

We can do it by plugging one point and the slope into the line equation form:

$y=mx+b\\\\D(q)=mq+b\\\\138=\frac{-1}{25}(250) +b\\\\138=-10+b\\\\138+10=b=148$

With b: 148 and m: -1/25 we can write our demand equation D(q)

$D(q)=\frac{-1}{25} q+148$

(b) to find the supply equation S(q) we have

P1: 102 Q1: 2200

P2: 102 Q2: 700

Similarly we find m, and b

$m=\frac{p_{2} -p_{1} }{q_{2} -q_{1} }=\frac{72-102}{700-2200} =\frac{-30}{-1500}=\frac{1}{50}$

$y=mx+b\\\\D(q)=mq+b\\\\72=\frac{1}{50}(700) +b\\\\72=14+b\\\\72-14=b=58\\$

And we can write our Supply equation S(q):

$S(q)=\frac{1}{50}q+58$

(c) Now we may find the equilibrium quantity q* and the equilibrium price p* by writing D(q)=S(q), which means the demand equals the supply in equilibrium:

$D(q)=S(q)\\\\\frac{-1}{25}q+148=\frac{1}{50}q+58\\\\$

$148-58=\frac{1q}{50} +\frac{1q}{25} \\\\90= \frac{1q}{50} +\frac{2q}{50}\\\\90=\frac{3q}{50}\\ \\q=1500\\\\$

We plug 1500 as q into any equation, in this case S(q) and we get:

$S(q)=\frac{1}{50}q+58\\\\S(1500)=\frac{1}{50}(1500)+58\\\\S(1500)=30+58\\\\S(1500)=88$

Which is the equilibrium price p*.

Determine the sample size needed to construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate the population proportion when p = 0.65 and

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

n=170

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

$n$ random sample taken (variable of interest)

$\hat p=0.65$ estimated proportion.

$p$ true population

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})$

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 90% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.90=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ . And the critical value would be given by:
