Question 4 Three qualities of second-hand bicycles are available in equal numbers: high, medium, and low. There are many buyers and sellers, who value each quality of the bike differently. The value that each agent assigns to each quality of the bike is given below. Quality High Medium Low Buyer’s value 100 (high), 65 (medium), 30 (low) Seller’s value 75 (high), 60(medium) , 45 (low) (i) What is the efficient outcome in this market? Equivalently, which types of bikes should change their owners to maximise the social welfare?

A researcher wants to determine if the exam scores of the students are dependent on the length of time spent in studying the subject. Ten students in a certain class were taken and the results are shown in the table below where X is the time spent in studying the subject in hours and Y is the examination scores. X (time) Y (score) 1.5 80 3.0 83 1.25 83 0.5 70 3.5 85 2.5 75 1.0 70 3.0 90 2.5 86 4.0 91 Determine the simple linear regression equation Y = a + bX. (round off values up to 1 decimal place)
Atlantic hurricanes form off the western coast of Africa. As warm moist air rises, it begins to rotate around a low- pressure system. This rotation is sustained by warm ocean temperatures and a central low pressure. Once a sustained wind speed of 74 miles per hour is reached, the storm is considered a hurricane. As man-made climate change continues to increase the temperature of the Earth's oceans, it is expected that the strength of hurricanes will Typically, a lower central pressure within a hurricane's eye is associated with a higher wind speed. Here, statistical software (R/RStudio) will be used to explore this relationship by applying linear regression methods. Using a database of landfalling hurricanes in the United States, a linear regression will be used to correlate the central pressure of each hurricane to its maximum sustained wind speed. increase.

The relative effectiveness of two different sales techniques was tested on 12 volunteer housewives. Each housewife was exposed to each sales technique and asked to buy a certain product, the same product in all cases. At the end of each exposure, each housewife rated the technique with a 1 if she felt she would have agreed to buy the product and a 0 if she probably would not have bought the product.
