Describe the patterns in quantity sold and own and rival prices during this time period using basic descriptive statistics. Graphs are welcome as well. Take the logs of the variables, and estimate the demand function. Interpret the R-square. Interpret the coefficients for logP and logPsub Interpret the p-values associated with each independent variable Are consumers price sensitive? Why or why not? (be as precise as you can – you have estimates!). Does this price sensitivity make sense given the good we are examining? How sensitive are our consumers to changes in the rival good’s price? Explain in detail. Suppose we decide to charge a per ounce price of $2, while at the same time our rival charges a price of $2.15. All else equal, what would you expect sales to be? How confident are you in your forecast? Suppose we are charging a price of $2 and our current marginal cost is $1.50 Are we maximizing profits at this price? If not, should we raise or lower price? Why?
In agricultural economics, a “supply response function” describes how supply of a commodity responds to changes in the price of that commodity.

Fuel efficiency, measured in miles per gallon, is a feature often considered by shoppers looking for a new car. The scatterplot shows the vehicle weight of 15 car models in pounds, plotted against their highway fuel efficiency. Which of the labeled points on the graph would be considered a high leverage point? point A point B point C point D
Suppose you are the marketing manager of a firm, and you plan to introduce a new product to the market. You have to estimate the first year net profit, which depends on several variables • Sales volume (in units) • Price per unit • Unit cost . Fixed costs Your net profit is net profit = sales volume x (price per unit-unit cost) - fixed cost The fixed cost is $120, 000, but other factors have some uncertainty. Based on your market research, there are equal chance that the market will be slow, ok, or hot. • Slow market the sales volume follows Poisson distribution with mean 50,000 units product, and the average price per unit is $11.00 ● Ok market the sales volume follows Poisson distribution with mean 75,000 units product, the average price per unit is $10.00 Hot market: the sales volume follows Poisson distribution with mean 100,000 units product, but the competition is severe so you expect the average price per unit is just $8.00 No matter what the market type is, your average unit…
Select the most appropriate response. A university statistician found that the correlation between college GPA and starting salary was 0.12. Based on this you would tell the university that: a) GPA is a good predictor of starting salary. b) students with low GPA’s will have the lowest starting salaries. c) GPA is a poor predictor of starting salary. d) students with high GPA’s will have the highest starting salaries
