Eg : Education - Its consumption not only affects the concerned person, but the positive trickle down to the people & society around.

Personal consumption decisions are based on : equalisation - of private marginal benefit (demand) curve & private marginal cost curve.

Observations (n)= 75

sd =√(P-bar)(1-(P-bar)/n

sd =√(0.024)(1-0.024)/75

sd= √(0.024)(0.976)/75

sd= √(0.023424)/75

sd= 0.01767

sd ≤ 0.1
