A college campus plans to provide awnings above its sidewalks to shelter students from the rain as they walk from the parking lot and between buildings. To save money, awnings will not be placed over all of the sidewalks shown in the figure. Just enough awnings will be placed over a select number of sidewalks to ensure that students walking from building to building will be able to do so without getting wet.
a. Use a weighted graph to model the given map. Represent buildings as vertices, sidewalks as edges, and sidewalk lengths as weights.
b. Use Kruskal's Algorithm to find a minimum spanning tree that allows students to move between the parking lot and any buildings shown without getting wet. What is the total length of the sidewalks that need to be sheltered by awnings?

- a C d 2 1 -1 0 1 2 3 -1 Graph of f'(x) (5) The graph of f'(x), the derivative of f(x), is shown in the figure above. The line tangent to the graph of f'(x) at x=0 is vertical and f'(x) is not differentiable at x = 1. Which of the following statements is true? (a) f'(x) does not exist at x = 0. (b) f(x) has a point of inflection at x = 1. (c) f(x) has a local maximum at x = 0. (d) f(x) has a local maximum at x = 1.arrow_forwardball is drawn from one of three urns depending on the outcomeof a roll of a dice. If the dice shows a 1, a ball is drawn from Urn I, whichcontains 2 black balls and 3 white balls. If the dice shows a 2 or 3, a ballis drawn from Urn II, which contains 1 black ball and 3 white balls. Ifthe dice shows a 4, 5, or 6, a ball is drawn from Urn III, which contains1 black ball and 2 white balls. (i) What is the probability to draw a black ball? [7 Marks]Hint. Use the partition rule.(ii) Assume that a black ball is drawn. What is the probabilitythat it came from Urn I? [4 Marks]Total marks 11 Hint.

- Question 2 (3.5 points) A firm produces a certain good. The current unit price of the good is equal to €7. At this price level, the marginal demand is equal to -0.8 and the point elasticity of demand is equal to -0.28. a. Give a precise economic interpretation of the number -0.8. b. Find the exact value of the current revenue of the firm and estimate the change in revenue if the current unit price is reduced by 3%. Next, assume that the demand is given by an equation of the form q = a/(bp). c. Find the values of the parameters a and b.
