Question 5
We have a dataset of different countries and we want to generate an indicator that indicates
whether the country is in Africa or not. We also have a variable named "continent" that is a
categorical string variable indicating the continent of the country. What is the correct syntax to
generate an indicator variable named Africa that is equal to 1 if the country is in Africa and 0
otherwise:
gen Africa = (continent=="Africa")
gen Africa = (continent==Africa)
gen Africa= (continent = "Africa")
gen Africa = 1 if continent
== "Africa"

Number of students actively in the queue being served

- Question 2 A particular road is used by N drivers each day. Each driver obtains a benefit v from the journey and incurs a cost c(N ) that increases with the number of drivers on the road due to congestion. Suppose that the cost incurred is given by c(N) = a+bN, for some positive numbers a, b. If the agent decides not to use the road, they receive 0. You may assume throughout that the number of drivers N can be any real number (rather than an integer). Each driver uses the road at most once. the number of drivers that join the road is Ne = (v−a)/b (iv) Suppose that the government charges a toll t (a congestion charge) for each journey. Find the optimum toll. Interpret your answer in terms of the externality that each driver imposes on others.arrow_forwardQUESTION 1 (a) An art dealer's client is willing to buy the Sunflower painting at $50,000. The dealer can buy the painting today for $40,000 or can wait a day and buy the painting tomorrow (if it has not been sold) for $30,000. The dealer may also wait another day and buy the painting (if it is still available) for $26,000. At the end of the third day, the painting will no longer be available for sale. Each day, there is a 0.60 probability that the painting will be sold. Construct a decision tree and determine the strategy that will maximize the dealer's expected profit.arrow_forwardQuestion related to queing theory An overhead crane of ABC Ltd. moves jobs from one machine to another and must be used every time a machine requires loading or unloading. The demand for service is random. Data taken by recording the elapsed time between service calls followed an exponential distribution having a mean of a call every 26 minutes. In a similar manner, the actual service time of loading or unloading took an average of 10 minutes. If the machine time is valued at Rs. 8.50 per hour, how much does the downtime cost per day?arrow_forward
- Chapter 5. (M/M/s/K Model). Leia is responsible for 13 data units in the IT offices in a small business called DataWish. Each data unit runs on an average for 3 weeks and requires an average of ½ or 0.5 weeks to get reset by Leia before it can start up again. If we assign the Poisson distribution to the “arrival” of each data unit for service and an exponential distribution to the actual service provided, answer the following questions: a. The arrival rate would be units per week and the service rate would be units per week. b. Calculate the following operating characteristics for the M/M/s/K system: Utilization Factor (ρ) % Performance Measures P0 (probability that sytem is empty) % L (average units in system) units Lq (average units waiting in queue) units W (average time in the system) weeks Wq (average time in the queue) weeks c.

In order to maximise her utility, the consumer can purchase goods by paying cash or by using coupons that the government hands out (also referred to as “rationing"). Suppose you wish to model the consumer's behaviour as a constrained maximisation problem. To simplify matters, you assume that there are only two goods in the economy, x and y, and that the consumer's utility function is given by U(x, y) = xy². You further assume the price of good x and y in the cash market is 20. However, in the coupon market you assume the price of good x is 40, while the price of good y is 20. You also make the assumption that the consumer has a cash budget of 2000 and a total allotment of coupons of 2400. Last, you assume that the consumer cannot consume negative quantities of goods, so that x >0 and y > 0 (the non-negativity constraints). 1.1. First set up the consumer's constraint functions as inequality constraints (in other words,…arrow_forwardQ. Cypress River Landscape Supply is a large wholesale supplier of landscaping materials in Georgia. Cypress River's sales vary seasonally; sales tend to be higher in the spring months than in other months.a. Suppose Cypress River estimates a linear trend without accounting for this seasonal variation. What effect would this omission have on the estimated sales trend?b. Alternatively, suppose there is, in fact, no seasonal pattern to sales, and the trend line is estimated using dummy variables to account for seasonality. What effect would this have on estimation?

Jeremy Manufacturing Company produces connecting rods for 4- and 6-cylinder automobile engines using the same production line. The cost required to set up the production line to produce the 4-cylinder rods is $1800 and the cost required to set up the production line for the 6-cylinder rods is $3200. Manufacturing costs are $16 for each 4-cylinder connecting rod and $20 for each 6-cylinder connecting rod. The production capacities are 5800 and 7200 for 6 and 4 cylinder rods respectively. The operating budget is $100,000. The selling prices are $55 per 4-cylinder rod and $70 per 6-cylinder rod. What is the optimal number of 4 and 6 cylinder rods that should be produced by the company?
