A salesman has scheduled two appointments to sell encyclopedias. His first appointment will lead to a sale with probability .3, and his second will lead independently to a sale with probability .6. Any sale made is equally likely to be either for the deluxe model, which costs $1000, or the standard model, which costs

A local diner has determined that 20% of their customers spend $8.00, 35% spend $10.00, 40% spend $12.00, and 5% spend $15.00 for lunch. Fill in the table of values below to find the expected expenditure per customer at the diner. (please Enter X as a whole number, P(X) as a decimal with two decimal digits, and X*P(X) as a decimal with two decimal digits) X1 = P(X1) = X1*P(X1) = X2 = P(X2) = X2*P(X2) = X3 = P(X3) = X3*P(X3) = X4 = P(X4) = X4*P(X4) =

Consider an economy where each worker is employed in either agriculture or services. Assume that log earnings of a worker are wo = 4o + €o if she is employed in agriculture and wi = µ1+€1 if she is employed in services, where µo and H1 are constants, ɛo ~ N(0, o3), and e1 - N(0, o?). Assume also that the correlation between earnings in the two sectors is p = g01 where oo1 = Cov(Eo, E1). Workers can be employed in agriculture at no cost, but they incur a cost C = T exp(wo) if they choose to work in services. Finally, assume that workers maximize their net earnings. Each worker knows all the parameters relevant to her decision. (a) Derive a linear approximation of the equation that determines whether an individual chooses services or agriculture. Assume that C is small compared to exp(wo), so you can ignore the error involved in this approximation. (b) Define v = €1 chosen worker is employed in services as a function of z, where z = (Ho – H1 +7)/0,. (c) How does this probability change…
Consider an AR(2) model: STEPS; -Write the equation of the AR(2) model- Determine the model based on the delay operator.- Find the expected value of the model- Find the variance of the model.- Find the covariances associated with 1,2, and s steps.- Find the associated correlation indices of 1,2, and s steps.- Assume that information is available up to time $h$ and the function that contains the accumulated information f(h, h-1,……), determine the forecasts and the error associated with 1,2, and s steps.- Assume that there is an initial value of the returns, denoted by $r_0$, and we have the AR(2) model at time rt, convert the AR(2) model into its equivalent MA(t)
