Chapter 6.3, Problem 45E
How many ways are there for a horse race with three horses to finish if ties are possible? [A'ofe: Two or three horses may tie.]
*46. How many ways are there for a horse race with four horses to finish if ties are possible? [A'ote: Any number of the four horses may tie.]
*47. There are six runners in the 100-yard dash. How many ways are there for three medals to be awarded if ties are possible? (The runner or runners who finish with the fastest time receive gold medals, the runner or runners who finish with exactly one runner ahead receive silver medals, and the runner or runners who finish with exactly two runners ahead receive bronze medals.)
*48, This procedure is used to break ties in games in the championship round of the World Cup soccer tournament. Each team selects five players in a prescribed order. Each of these players takes a penalty kick, with a player from the first team followed by a player from the second team and so on, following the order of players specified. If the score is still tied at the end of the 10 penalty kicks, this procedure is repeated. If the score is still tied after 20 penalty kicks, a sudden-death shootout occurs, with the first team scoring an unanswered goal victorious.

- How many different scoring scenarios are possible if the game is settled in the first round of 10 penalty kicks, where the round ends once it is impossible for a team to equal the number of goals scored by the other team?
- How many different scoring scenarios for the first and second groups of penalty kicks are possible if the game is settled in the second round of 10 penalty kicks?
- How many scoring scenarios are possible for the full set of penalty kicks if the game is settled with no more than 10 total additional kicks after the two rounds of five kicks for each team?

Firm Alpha operates in a perfectly competitive market in a constant-cost industry and is earning negative economic profit.
a. How does Firm Alpha determine its profit-maximizing quantity of output? Explain.
b. Draw correctly labeled side-by-side graphs for Firm Alpha and the market it operates in. Label the axes and all of the following:
i. Market price (PE) and market quantity (QE)
ii. The firm's quantity of output (Qe)
iii. The firm's average total cost (ATC)
c. Completely shade the area of the firm's total cost.
d. Identify whether the following increase, decrease, or remain constant as the market moves to long-run equilibrium:
i. Market equilibrium quantity
ii. Market equilibrium price
e. Assume the product that Firm Alpha produces has a negative externality. Draw the marginal social cost (MSC) on the market graph from part (b).

Goods A, B, and C are related goods, each operating in a perfectly competitive market.
a. As the price of Good A increases from $8 to $10, its quantity demanded falls from 200 units to 160 units. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for this range.
b. Good A is an input for Good B. Illustrate the effect of the price change from part (a) on a fully labeled supply and demand graph for Good B. Label the equilibrium price(s) and quantity or quantities. Use arrows to indicate any shifts.
c. On your graph from (b), shade the consumer surplus lost in the market for Good B as a result of the change in part (a).
d. The equilibrium price for Good C is $2, and the equilibrium quantity is 60 units. The cross-price elasticity of Good C with Good A is -3.
i. Are Good C and Good A normal goods, inferior goods, complementary goods, or substitute goods?
ii. Calculate the new equilibrium quantity of Good C after a 25% price increase for Good A.

- 1. Sketch the following sets and determine which are domains: (a) |z−2+i| ≤ 1; - (c) Imz> 1; (e) 0≤ arg z≤ л/4 (z ± 0); Ans. (b), (c) are domains. (b) |2z+3| > 4; (d) Im z = 1; - (f) | z − 4| ≥ |z.arrow_forward8. Suppose that the moments of the random variable X are constant, that is, suppose that EX" =c for all n ≥ 1, for some constant c. Find the distribution of X.arrow_forward9. The concentration function of a random variable X is defined as Qx(h) = sup P(x ≤ X ≤x+h), h>0. Show that, if X and Y are independent random variables, then Qx+y (h) min{Qx(h). Qr (h)).arrow_forward
