a:

To determine

Sampling and non-sampling error:

a:

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Sampling error refers to the inaccuracy in the prediction about the population that arises through the procession of sample information. This error occurswhen the sample failed to represented the population.

Non-sampling error refers to the inaccuracy that occurs due to the mistake that happens during the selection of observation or acquiring the information.

b:

To determine

Serious error:

b:

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

If there is a sampling error, then it can be rectified by increasing the sample size. But, the non-sampling error cannot be rectified by increasing sample size or through other methods. The mistake can be rectified by doing the analyses from the beginning. Thus, non-sampling error is the serious one.

2.) Using the line drawing tool​, plot and label the isocost line.   Carefully follow the instructions​ above, and only draw the required objects.   FILL IN BLANK  d. Now suppose the price of labour rises to​ $5 per​ unit, but the firm still wants to produce 500 tires per day. Explain how a​ cost-minimizing firm adjusts to this change​ (with no change in​ technology).   A​ cost-minimizing firm will be producing on ▼  The samedifferently slopedparallel   isocost line. The firm will use ▼  moresameless   labour and ▼  less the same amount of more capital and produce on ▼   a higher point on the same a lower point on the same a lower a higher isoquant curve.
QK Using the graph on the right, determine how the firm should change the quantity of the production factors in order to reduce the costs. The firm that is producing at point A can reduce its costs for producing 2000 units by employing A. same capital and more labour. B. less capital and more labour. ○ C. less capital and the same labour. D. more capital and more labour. OE. more capital and less labour. C A B Q =4000 Q = 2000 C Isocost line QL
PL Suppose the price ratio is the same along isocost PK lines A and B. In the figure at right, the difference between isocost line A and isocost line B is that A. the total cost is larger along B. B. the total cost is larger along A. OC. labour is relatively more expensive along A. ○ D. the level of output is lower along A. OE. both capital and labour are relatively cheaper along A. Capital B Labour
