Suppose a group of consumers spend 30% of their disposable income on food, 20% on
clothing, and 50% on rent. If over the course of a year the price of food rises 10%, the price
of clothing drops 5% and rent rises 15%, what is the average price increase experienced by
these consumers?
A report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) shows that the GAO expects the U.S. Postal Service to lose a record $7 billion at the end of this year, and if the business model is not changed, the losses will total $241 billion by the end of year 10. If the losses increase uniformly over the 10-year period, determine the following:(a) The expected increase in losses each year(b) The loss 5 years from now(c) The equivalent uniform worth of the losses at an interest rate of 8% per year
What is meant by the cumulative distribution function?

- Billy's Bank is the only bank in a small town in Arkansas. On a typical Friday, an average of 10 customers per hour arrives at the bank to transact business. There is one single teller at the bank, and the average time required to transact business is 4 minutes. It is assumed that service times can be described by the exponential distribution. Although this is the only bank in town, some people in the town have begun using the bank in a neighboring town about 20 miles away. If a single teller at Billy's is used, find (a) the average time in the line. (b) the average number in the line. (c) the average time in the system. (d) the average number in the system. (e) the probability that the bank is empty.arrow_forwardSuppose you are given the following data on real compensation per year (Y)and output per hour (X) in the business sector between 1989 - 2008.

The reproductive power P of an individual can be modeled, following the ideas of ecologist James H. Brown (see his book Macroecology, University of Chicago Press, 1995), as the harmonic mean of two limiting rates. The harmonic mean of two numbers a and b is the reciprocals of the average of the inverses of the two numbers: ab a+b a The two rates are a per-unit-mass rate R1 at which individuals acquire resources, and a per-unit-mass rate R, at which individuals convert those resources into new individuals; that is, P = R¡R2 R1+R2 Assuming both Rị and R2 are the following allometric functions of body mass measure in kilograms R1 = 2M³/4 and R2 = 4M¯1/4, find the body mass M that maximizes the reproductive power P, M = kg.arrow_forward2. Losses have an exponential distribution with a mean of 2,000. An insurance company will pay the amount of each claim in excess of a deductible of 400.
