(a)
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
An increase in the price of pork would lead to a fall in the quantity demanded of pork. This would result in an increase in the quantity demanded of beef as beef and pork are treated as substitutes by the consumers.

(b)
To determine

(b)
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
An increase in the consumer income results in an increase in the quantity demanded of beef. This is due to the reason that the income of the consumer is a factor that influence the demand for a commodity.
(c)
To determine
The change in price of cattle feed and demand for beef.
(c)
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
An increase in the price of feed grains leads to an increase in the price of cattle fee. This implies that the cost of rearing cattle increases and this would be reflected in the price of beef. The increase in the cost of cattle rearing results in a decrease in the demand for beef. Thus, the increase in price of cattle feed leads to a fall in the demand for beef.
(d)
To determine
The outbreak of cattle disease and demand for beef.
(d)
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
The outbreak of cattle diseases such as mad cow or hoof- and mouth disease would lead to a fall in the demand for beef as the consumers’ preference for beef declines.

Eddie Clauer sells a wide variety of outdoor equipment and clothing. The company sells both through mail order and via the internet. Random samples of sales receipts
were studied for mail order sales and internet sales, with the total purchase being recorded for each sale. A random sample of 7 sales receipts for mail order sales
results in a mean sale amount of $81.10 with a standard deviation of $23.25. A random sample of 15 sales receipts for internet sales results in a mean sale amount of
$64.30 with a standard deviation of $28.25. Using this data, find the 90 % confidence interval for the true mean difference between the mean amount of mail order
purchases and the mean amount of internet purchases. Assume that the population variances are not equal and that the two populations are normally distributed.
Step 1 of 3: Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

A random survey of 16 Visa Gold cardholders resulted in a mean household income of $75,650 with a standard deviation of $11,400. A random survey of 7 MasterCard Gold cardholders resulted in a mean household income of $68,280 with a standard deviation of $10,900. Is there enough evidence to support the executive's claim? Let μ₁ be the true mean household income for Visa Gold cardholders and μ2₂ be the true mean household income for MasterCard Gold cardholders. Use a significance level of a = 0.2 for the test.
