The аverаge hibernаtiоn periоds оf 7 different animals were recorded by a zoologist. 28, 15, 15, 46, 27, 21, 24 Find the first, second, and third quartiles. Q1 = [first_quartile] Q2 = [second_quartile] Q3 = [third_quartile]
Infоrmаtiоn fоr questions 1-5 In а given mаrket, inverse supply is given by pS = 10 + 2 qS, and inverse demand is given by pD = 100 - 2 qD. For the first four questions, there is no government intervention of any kind, and this market is in a perfectly competitive equilibrium. It will be useful to draw a graph that allows you to keep track of all the numbers and areas. On that graph, place the supply and demand curves (hint: they are just straight lines, and you just need two points to know the entire line), and then all areas, quantities, or prices, that you may want to calculate. You may want to draw your graph roughly on scale, although strictly speaking that’s not necessary, since you won’t use the graph to get your answers. Only the exact answers are accepted, so make sure to double- and triple-check your reasoning and calculations. Suppose that consumers can buy any quantity they wish, at a price of 80. Calculate the consumer surplus.
Infоrmаtiоn fоr questions 17-20 The following figure shows four isoquаnts for а travel agency that sells summer cruises. Units of labor are on the horizontal axis, and units of capital are on the vertical axis. Each isoquant is labeled with the output that its combinations of labor and capital produce, in number of cruises. Note that each grid spacing is 0.25 units of labor or capital. Also shown are some auxiliary lines in solid black. You can use these as isocost lines, as needed. The two top black lines have slope=2, and the two bottom black lines have slope=1 (all of these slopes are in absolute value). Note that each of the auxiliary lines is tangent to an isoquant, and that its tangency point is marked with a dot. Only the exact answers are accepted. For that purpose, adopt the convention: if a line seems to cross a grid point, assume that it does so exactly. Also, assume that the four dots are exactly at a grid intersection. For example, the lower, green, dot lies at point (L=0.75, K=1.25), exactly. Enter 0, if the answer cannot be obtained with the information given. If this firm employs 3 units of labor and 1.5 units of capital, how many cruises will it sell?
