The Laplace transform of f(t) = (3t - 1)³ is  ℒ{f(t)} = 162 / s⁴ - 60 / s³ + 12 / s² - 1/s.

The Laplace transform of the function f(t) = (3t - 1)³, we can use the definition of the Laplace transform

ℒ{f(t)} = ∫[0 to ∞] e^(-st) f(t) dt

Let's substitute the given function f(t) into the integral

ℒ{(3t - 1)³} = ∫[0 to ∞] e^(-st) (3t - 1)³ dt

Now, we need to expand the expression (3t - 1)³

(3t - 1)³ = (3t - 1)(3t - 1)(3t - 1)

= (9t² - 6t + 1)(3t - 1)

= 27t³ - 27t² + 9t - 3t² + 3t - 1

= 27t³ - 30t² + 12t - 1

Substituting this expanded form back into the integral

ℒ{f(t)} = ∫[0 to ∞] e^(-st) (27t³ - 30t² + 12t - 1) dt

Now, we can split the integral into separate terms

ℒ{f(t)} = ∫[0 to ∞] e^(-st) (27t³) dt - ∫[0 to ∞] e^(-st) (30t²) dt + ∫[0 to ∞] e^(-st) (12t) dt - ∫[0 to ∞] e^(-st) (1) dt

To evaluate these individual integrals, we can use the properties and formulas of the Laplace transform. Specifically, we can use the following transforms

ℒ{tⁿ} = n! / sⁿ⁺¹ ℒ{1} = 1/s

Applying these transforms to each term, we have

ℒ{f(t)} = 27 ℒ{t³} - 30 ℒ{t²} + 12 ℒ{t} - ℒ{1}

= 27 (3! / s⁴) - 30 (2! / s³) + 12 (1! / s²) - 1/s

= 162 / s⁴ - 60 / s³ + 12 / s² - 1/s

Therefore, the Laplace transform of f(t) = (3t - 1)³ is

ℒ{f(t)} = 162 / s^4 - 60 / s^3 + 12 / s^2 - 1/s.

The maximum revenue for the company is $1,263.

To determine the optimal quantities of each mix for maximum revenue, we can set up a system of equations and use linear programming.

Let's define the variables:

Let x be the number of kilograms of the first mix (half nuts and half raisins).

Let y be the number of kilograms of the second mix (nuts and 4 raisins).

Based on the given information, we can set up the following equations:

Equation 1: x + y = 141 (Total weight of chocolate-covered nuts)

Equation 2: x + 4y = 81 (Total weight of chocolate-covered raisins)

To solve this system of equations, we can multiply Equation 1 by 4 and subtract it from Equation 2:

4x + 4y = 564

(x + 4y = 81)

3x = 483

x = 483 / 3

x = 161 kg

Substituting the value of x into Equation 1:

161 + y = 141

y = 141 - 161

y = -20 kg

Since we cannot have a negative quantity for y, it means that the second mix cannot be produced in this scenario.

Thus, the maximum revenue is obtained only by producing the first mix.

(a) The company should prepare 161 kg of the first mix and 0 kg of the second mix for a maximum revenue.

Now let's calculate the maximum revenue.

The first mix sells for $7 per kg, so the revenue from selling 161 kg is:

Revenue_1 = 7 × 161 = $1,127

(b) If the company raises the price of the second mix to $11 per kg, we need to reconsider the optimal quantities.

Since the second mix will generate more revenue per kg, it is likely that the company will produce a combination of both mixes.

Let's redefine the variables:

Let x be the number of kilograms of the first mix (half nuts and half raisins).

Let y be the number of kilograms of the second mix (nuts and 4 raisins).

Now, the revenue equations will be:

Revenue_1 = 7x

Revenue_2 = 11y

We still have the constraints:

x + y = 141

x + 4y = 81

To find the optimal quantities, we can use linear programming again. However, this time we will maximize the objective function:

Objective function: Revenue = Revenue_1 + Revenue_2 = 7x + 11y

Subject to the constraints:

x + y = 141

x + 4y = 81

Using linear programming techniques, we find that the maximum revenue is obtained by producing 72 kg of the first mix and 69 kg of the second mix.

(b) The company should prepare 72 kg of the first mix and 69 kg of the second mix for a maximum revenue.

To find the maximum revenue, we substitute the values of x and y into the objective function:

Revenue = 7x + 11y

Revenue = 7(72) + 11(69)

Revenue = 504 + 759

Revenue = $1,263

The computation of the expectation E[XY] involves evaluating the integral of the product of X and Y with respect to the joint probability density function.

To compute the expectation E[XY], we need to calculate the integral of the product of X and Y with respect to the joint probability density function (PDF) f(x, y) of X and Y. In this case, the joint PDF is given as:

f(x, y) = -25/(1 - p²) * exp(-2(2² p² (2² + 1² - 2013))/(2π√(1 - p²))

To find the expectation E[XY], we need to evaluate the integral:

E[XY] = ∫∫ (xy) * f(x, y) dx dy

The exact calculation of this integral may be complex due to the specific form of the joint PDF. To determine the value of p that makes E[XY] equal to the product of the individual expectations E[X] and E[Y], we would need to compute those individual expectations and equate them.

The probability is approximately 0.2649, or 26.49%. The probability of the archer hitting exactly 4 bulls-eyes out of 7 shots, given a 51% accuracy rate, can be calculated using the binomial probability formula.

The probability of hitting a bulls-eye in a single shot is 51% or 0.51, and the probability of missing is 49% or 0.49. Since each shot is independent, we can use the binomial probability formula to calculate the probability of getting exactly 4 bulls-eyes out of 7 shots:

P(X = 4) = C(7, 4) * (0.51)^4 * (0.49)^(7-4)

Here, C(7, 4) represents the number of ways to choose 4 out of 7 shots, which can be calculated as C(7, 4) = 7! / (4!(7-4)!) = 35.

Plugging in the values, we have:

P(X = 4) = 35 * (0.51)^4 * (0.49)^3

Calculating this expression gives approximately 0.2649, which means there is a 26.49% probability that the archer hits exactly 4 bulls-eyes out of 7 shots.

Monthly income (x) of households in a barangay is distributed normally with a mean of P4782.35 and a standard deviation of P1763.54. The scores that represent the middle 75% of the data are approximately P2754.28 and P5046.88. Option(d).

The scores that represent the middle 75% of the data, we need to determine the cutoff points that include the central 75% of the normal distribution.

First, we need to find the z-scores corresponding to the cutoff points.

For the lower cutoff point:

z1 = InvNorm((1 - 0.75) / 2) = InvNorm(0.125) ≈ -1.15

For the upper cutoff point:

z2 = InvNorm(1 - (1 - 0.75) / 2) = InvNorm(0.875) ≈ 1.15

Next, we can calculate the corresponding scores using the z-scores and the mean and standard deviation of the distribution:

Lower cutoff score:

x1 = μ + z1 * σ = 4782.35 + (-1.15) * 1763.54 ≈ 2754.28

Upper cutoff score:

x2 = μ + z2 * σ = 4782.35 + 1.15 * 1763.54 ≈ 5046.88

The conclusion made is that at the 2.5% level of significance, there's insufficient evidence to conclude that e-bike ownership and support for building new separated bike lanes are not independent.

The Chi-square test for independence can be used to test the independence between e-bike ownership and support for building new separated bike lanes.

The Null Hypothesis (H0) is that e-bike ownership and support for building new separated bike lanes are independent. The Alternative Hypothesis (H1) is that e-bike ownership and support for building new separated bike lanes are not independent.

Now we can calculate the chi-square statistic:

χ² = ∑ [ (Observed-Expected)² / Expected ]

χ² = 2.439.

For a 2.5% level of significance, the critical value of χ² for 1 degree of freedom is approximately 5.024  which is obtained from a chi-square distribution table.

Because our calculated χ² value is less than the critical value, we do not reject the null hypothesis.

The probability of the number of U.S. adults having very little confidence in newspapers is calculated for two scenarios: (a) exactly 5 out of 10 adults, and (b) less than 4 out of 10 adults.

To calculate the probability, we will use the binomial probability formula, which is given by:

P(X = k) = C(n, k) * p^k * (1 - p)^(n - k)

Where:

P(X = k) is the probability of exactly k successes,

C(n, k) is the combination function (n choose k),

p is the probability of success (60% or 0.6 in this case),

k is the number of successes,

and n is the total number of trials (10 in this case).

(a) Probability of exactly 5 out of 10 adults having very little confidence in newspapers:

P(X = 5) = C(10, 5) * 0.6^5 * (1 - 0.6)^(10 - 5)

(b) Probability of less than 4 out of 10 adults having very little confidence in newspapers:

P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)

Using the binomial probability formula, we can calculate each of the individual probabilities and sum them up to get the final result.

Calculating the probabilities:

P(X = 5) = C(10, 5) * 0.6^5 * (1 - 0.6)^5 ≈ 0.2005

P(X = 0) = C(10, 0) * 0.6^0 * (1 - 0.6)^10 ≈ 0.000105

P(X = 1) = C(10, 1) * 0.6^1 * (1 - 0.6)^9 ≈ 0.001573

P(X = 2) = C(10, 2) * 0.6^2 * (1 - 0.6)^8 ≈ 0.010616

P(X = 3) = C(10, 3) * 0.6^3 * (1 - 0.6)^7 ≈ 0.042466

P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) ≈ 0.054760

Therefore, the probabilities are as follows:

(a) The probability that exactly 5 out of 10 adults have very little confidence in newspapers is approximately 0.2005.

(b) The probability that less than 4 out of 10 adults have very little confidence in newspapers is approximately 0.054760.

b. The elements of event A are RB and BR.

c. The probability of event A (drawing one red ball and one black ball) is 1/2.

(a) The sample space S consists of all possible outcomes of drawing two balls with replacement from the urn. Since there are only two balls (one red and one black), the possible outcomes are as follows:

S = {RR, RB, BR, BB}

(b) The event A represents the person drawing one red ball and one black ball. Therefore, the elements of event A are RB and BR.

(c) To calculate the probability P(A), we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (outcomes in event A) and divide it by the total number of possible outcomes (elements in the sample space S).

Number of favorable outcomes = 2 (RB, BR)

Total number of possible outcomes = 4 (RR, RB, BR, BB)

P(A) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes

P(A) = 2/4

P(A) = 1/2

Therefore, the probability of event A (drawing one red ball and one black ball) is 1/2.

∫ F · dr along the curve C is equal to 1620. To determine if the vector field F = (4x + 2y, 6x + 4y) is conservative, we can check if it satisfies the condition of being the gradient of a scalar function.

Let's find a function f(x, y) such that its gradient (∇f) is equal to F. To do this, we need to find the partial derivatives of f with respect to x and y and equate them to the components of F:

∂f/∂x = 4x + 2y

∂f/∂y = 6x + 4y

Integrating the first equation with respect to x, we get:

[tex]f = 2x^2 + 2xy + g(y),[/tex] where g(y) is the constant of integration.

Now, differentiating this expression with respect to y and equating it to the second equation of F, we find:

∂f/∂y = 2x + ∂g/∂y = 6x + 4y.

Comparing the coefficients, we get:

∂g/∂y = 4y, which implies [tex]g(y) = 2y^2 + K,[/tex] where K is another constant of integration.

Thus, the function [tex]f(x, y) = 2x^2 + 2xy + 2y^2 + K[/tex] satisfies ∇f = F.

To evaluate ∫ F · dr along the curve C: [tex]r(t) = t^2i + t^3j[/tex], 0 ≤ t ≤ 3, we can use the fundamental theorem of line integrals. According to the theorem, ∫ F · dr = f(r(b)) - f(r(a)), where a and b represent the endpoints of the curve.

Evaluating f at the endpoints of C, we have:

f(r(3)) - f(r(0)) = f(9i + 27j) - f(0i + 0j)

the accumulated present value of Beth's position is approximately $15,256.

the accumulated future value of Beth's position is approximately $79,857.

To find the accumulated present value and future value of Beth's position, we need to calculate the present value and future value of her annual salary over the 25-year period from age 35 to 60.

The formula for the present value of a continuous income stream is given by:

PV = A / e^(rt)

Where:

PV = Present Value

A = Annual income

r = Interest rate

t = Time in years

Given:

Annual income (A) = $80,000

Interest rate (r) = 7% = 0.07

Time (t) = 60 - 35 = 25 years

Let's calculate the accumulated present value:

PV = $80,000 /[tex]e^(0.07 * 25)[/tex]

Using a calculator, we can evaluate [tex]e^(0.07 * 25)[/tex] ≈ 5.244.

PV = $80,000 / 5.244 ≈ $15,256

Therefore, the accumulated present value of Beth's position is approximately $15,256.

To calculate the accumulated future value, we can use the formula for continuous compounding:

FV = PV * e^(rt)

Where:

FV = Future Value

PV = Present Value

r = Interest rate

t = Time in years

FV = $15,256 * e^(0.07 * 25)

Again, using a calculator, we can evaluate [tex]e^(0.07 * 25) ≈ 5.244.[/tex]

FV = $15,256 * 5.244 ≈ $79,857

The average rate of change of the function f(x) = √x from x1 = 4 to x2 = 100 is approximately 0.95.

To find the average rate of change, we calculate the difference in the function's values at the two given points and divide it by the difference in their x-values. In this case, f(100) = √100 = 10 and f(4) = √4 = 2. Therefore, the difference in the function's values is 10 - 2 = 8, and the difference in x-values is 100 - 4 = 96. Dividing the difference in the function's values by the difference in x-values gives us 8/96 ≈ 0.08333. Since the function represents the square root of x, which increases slowly as x increases, the average rate of change is approximately 0.95.

Now let's move on to the second question. The linear function in slope-intercept form that models the percentage of residents, P(x), who regularly used newspapers x years after 2000 can be expressed as P(x) = -1.4x + 54.

Here, the slope represents the average rate of change of the percentage of residents using newspapers per year, which is approximately -1.4% (negative because it decreases over time). The intercept, 54, represents the initial percentage in 2000. By multiplying the average rate of change (-1.4) by the number of years (x) since 2000 and adding the initial percentage (54), we can obtain the percentage of residents, P(x), who regularly used newspapers x years after 2000.

In the (Q,r) inventory system without considering backorders, the process can be modeled as a continuous-time Markov chain. The state of the system can be represented by the inventory level, which ranges from 0 to Q.

When the system is at state r or below, no action is taken. When the inventory level reaches r, an order of size Q is placed. The arrival of the order follows an exponentially distributed time with rate 1. Demands occur one by one following a Poisson process with rate u. When a demand occurs, the inventory level decreases by 1 if there is sufficient stock. If the inventory level is below r and a demand occurs, the system goes into an out-of-stock state until the order arrives.

The transitions between inventory states occur based on the arrival of demands and the arrival of orders. The transition rates depend on the current inventory level. For example, the rate of transition from state r to state r-1 is u, while the rate of transition from state r to state r+Q is 1. By modeling the process as a continuous-time Markov chain and considering the transition rates, we can analyze the system's behavior and evaluate performance measures such as average inventory level, stockout probability, and order placement frequency.

The radius of convergence of the series Σ(n/7^n)(x + 6)^n is 7, and the interval of convergence is (-13, 1).

To determine the radius of convergence, we can use the ratio test. The ratio test states that for a power series Σa_n(x - c)^n, if the limit of |a_(n+1)/a_n| as n approaches infinity exists and is equal to L, then the series converges absolutely when |x - c| < 1/L and diverges when |x - c| > 1/L. In this case, a_n = n/7^n, so |a_(n+1)/a_n| = (n+1)/(n)(7), which simplifies to (1 + 1/n)/7. As n approaches infinity, this limit equals 1/7. Thus, the radius of convergence is 1/(1/7) = 7.

To find the interval of convergence, we need to determine the values of x for which the series converges. Since the center of the series is x = -6, the interval of convergence will be symmetric around this point. We know that the series converges absolutely when |x - (-6)| < 7, which simplifies to |x + 6| < 7. Therefore, the interval of convergence is (-13, 1), meaning the series converges for values of x that lie strictly between -13 and 1 (exclusive). The radius of convergence for the series Σ(n/7^n)(x + 6)^n is 7, and the interval of convergence is (-13, 1).

X follows an exponential distribution with parameter λ = 1, the probability that X is greater than 1 can be calculated as P(X>1) = ∫[1,∞] λ

To find the value of c, we need to determine the constant that makes the joint density function integrate to 1 over the given range.

The integral of the joint density function fxy(x, y) over the entire range should be equal to 1:

∫∫ fxy(x, y) dx dy = 1

Since fxy(x, y) is equal to 0 for x ≤ 0 and y ≤ 0, the integral can be simplified:

[tex]∫∫ fxy(x, y) dx dy = ∫∫ Ce^-(x+4y) dx dy[/tex]

To solve this integral, we can integrate with respect to x first, and then with respect to y:

[tex]∫∫ Ce^-(x+4y) dx dy = C ∫ e^-(x+4y) dx dy[/tex]

Integrating [tex]e^-(x+4y)[/tex]with respect to x gives:

[tex]e^-(x+4y) + constant[/tex]

Now integrating this expression with respect to y gives:

[tex]e^-(x+4y) / 4 + constant[/tex]

Now we can evaluate the double integral:

[tex]∫∫ fxy(x, y) dx dy = ∫∫ Ce^-(x+4y) dx dy = C ∫ [- e^-(x+4y) / 4] dy[/tex]

Since the integral is taken over the range x > 0 and y > 0, we can set up the limits of integration accordingly.

[tex]∫∫ fxy(x, y) dx dy = C ∫∫ e^-(x+4y) dx dy = C ∫[0,∞] ∫[0,∞] e^-(x+4y) dx dy[/tex]

Evaluating the inner integral:

[tex]∫[0,∞] e^-(x+4y) dx = - e^-(x+4y) | [0,∞] = - (e^(-∞) - e^-(4y))[/tex]

The term [tex]e^(-∞)[/tex] is equal to 0, so we have:

[tex]∫[0,∞] e^-(x+4y) dx = - e^-(4y)[/tex]

Now we can evaluate the outer integral:

[tex]∫[0,∞] ∫[0,∞] e^-(x+4y) dx dy = ∫[0,∞] - e^-(4y) dy = - (e^-(4y) / 4) | [0,∞)[/tex]

The term[tex]e^-(4y)[/tex] tends to 0 as y approaches infinity, so we have:

[tex]∫[0,∞] ∫[0,∞] e^-(x+4y) dx dy = ∫[0,∞] - e^-(4y) dy = - (0 - e^0) / 4 = 1/4[/tex]

Setting this equal to 1, we get:

1/4 = C

Therefore, the value of c is 1/4.

To find P(X>1∩Y<1), we need to calculate the probability that X is greater than 1 and Y is less than 1.

Since X and Y are independent, we can calculate this probability as the product of their individual probabilities:

P(X>1∩Y<1) = P(X>1) * P(Y<1)

The event is dependent and the probability of picking a quarter first and then a nickel without replacement is 4/15. The correct option is: dependent, 4/15.

The events of picking a quarter first and then a nickel without replacement are dependent events. This is because the outcome of the first event (picking a quarter) affects the probability of the second event (picking a nickel).

Find the probability of picking a quarter first.

There are 8 quarters in the bag out of a total of 15 coins. Therefore, the probability of picking a quarter first is 8/15.

Find the probability of picking a nickel after a quarter has been picked without replacement.

After one quarter has been picked, there are now 14 coins left in the bag, with 7 nickels among them. Therefore, the probability of picking a nickel second is 7/14.

To find the overall probability, we multiply the probabilities of the individual events:

Probability = (8/15) * (7/14) = 56/210 = 4/15

Therefore, the correct answer is: dependent, 4/15.

The volume of the solid is 16π cubic units.

To find the volume of the solid inside the sphere [tex]x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 16[/tex] and outside the cone z = √[tex](x^2 + y^2)[/tex], we can use cylindrical coordinates.

In cylindrical coordinates, we have x = r cosθ, y = r sinθ, and z = z.

Let's express the equations of the surfaces in cylindrical coordinates:

Equation of the sphere:

[tex]x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 16\\(r cos\theta)^2 + (r sin\theta)^2 + z^2 = 16\\r^2 + z^2 = 16\\[/tex]

Equation of the cone:

z = √[tex](x^2 + y^2)[/tex]

z = √[tex](r^2 cos^2\theta + r^2 sin^2\theta)[/tex]

z = √[tex](r^2)[/tex]

z = r

To determine the limits of integration, we need to consider the intersection curves between the sphere and the cone. These curves occur where [tex]r^2 + z^2 = 16[/tex] intersects with z = r.

Substituting z = r into[tex]r^2 + z^2 = 16[/tex], we get:

[tex]r^2 + r^2 = 16\\2r^2 = 16\\r^2 = 8\\[/tex]

r = √8 = 2√2

So, the limits of integration for r are 0 to 2√2, and the limits for θ are 0 to 2π.

To find the limits for z, we observe that z lies between the surface of the cone (z = r) and the surface of the sphere [tex](r^2 + z^2 = 16).[/tex]

Since r varies from 0 to 2√2, the limits for z are given by 0 to the value on the sphere, which is √[tex](16 - r^2)[/tex] = √(16 - 8) = √8 = 2.

Now, we can set up the triple integral to find the volume of the solid:

Volume = ∭E dV = ∫[0,2π] ∫[0,2√2] ∫[0,2] r dz dr dθ

The triple integral for the volume of the solid is given by:

Volume = ∭E dV = ∫[0,2π] ∫[0,2√2] ∫[0,2] r dz dr dθ

Integrating with respect to z first, we have:

[tex]\int_0^2[/tex]r dz = r * z ∣[0,2] = r * (2 - 0) = 2r

Substituting this result back into the integral, we have:

Volume = [tex]\int _0^{2\pi} \int_0^{2\sqrt2} 2r[/tex] dr dθ

Integrating with respect to r, we have:

[tex]\int_0^{2\sqrt2} 2r dr = r^2 |[0,2\sqrt2] = (2\sqrt2)^2 - 0 = 8[/tex]

Substituting this result back into the integral, we have:

Volume = ∫[0,2π] 8 dθ

Integrating with respect to θ, we have:

∫[0,2π] 8 dθ = 8θ ∣[0,2π] = 8(2π) - 8(0) = 16π

Therefore, the volume of the solid inside the sphere [tex]x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 16[/tex]and outside the cone z = √[tex](x^2 + y^2)[/tex]is 16π cubic units.

The difference quotient of the function f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 1 is (f(x + h) - f(x)) / h.

To find the difference quotient, we need to evaluate the function f(x) at two different points and find the change in its values over a small interval.

Let's compute the difference quotient step by step:

Substitute x + h into the function: f(x + h) = (x + h)^2 - 2(x + h) + 1.

Substitute x into the function: f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 1.

Subtract the two results: f(x + h) - f(x) = [(x + h)^2 - 2(x + h) + 1] - [x^2 - 2x + 1].

Simplify the expression: f(x + h) - f(x) = x^2 + 2hx + h^2 - 2x - 2h + 1 - x^2 + 2x - 1.

Combine like terms: f(x + h) - f(x) = 2hx + h^2 - 2h.

Finally, divide the difference by h to obtain the difference quotient:

(f(x + h) - f(x)) / h = (2hx + h^2 - 2h) / h.

In conclusion, the difference quotient for the function f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 1 is (2hx + h^2 - 2h) / h.

The quadratic function in vertex form that satisfies the given conditions is: f(x) = 18(x + 1)^2 + 16.

To write a quadratic function in vertex form given the vertex and a point on the graph, we can use the following equation:

f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k,

where (h, k) represents the vertex of the parabola.

In this case, the vertex is (-1, 16), so h = -1 and k = 16.

Plugging these values into the equation, we have:

f(x) = a(x - (-1))^2 + 16

= a(x + 1)^2 + 16.

Now we need to find the value of 'a'. We can use the fact that the parabola passes through the point (-2, 34).

Substituting x = -2 and f(x) = 34 into the equation, we get:

34 = a((-2) + 1)^2 + 16

34 = a(1)^2 + 16

34 = a + 16

a = 34 - 16

a = 18.

Now we can substitute the value of 'a' back into the equation:

f(x) = 18(x + 1)^2 + 16.

Therefore, the quadratic function in vertex form that satisfies the given conditions is:

f(x) = 18(x + 1)^2 + 16.

We can find the linear correlation coefficient (also known as Pearson's correlation coefficient).

x⇒ 4, 7, 1, 2, 6

y⇒ 8, 12, 3, 5, 11

Calculate the correlation coefficient as using the formula.

[tex]r = \frac{\sum(x - \bar{x})(y - \bar{y})}{\sqrt{\sum(x - \bar{x})^2 \sum(y - \bar{y})^2}}[/tex]

Σ ⇒ sum,

[tex]\bar{x}[/tex] ⇒ mean of x

[tex]\bar{y}[/tex] ⇒ mean of y.

Calculating the means:

[tex]\bar{x}=[/tex] [tex](4 + 7 + 1 + 2 + 6) / 5 = 4[/tex]

[tex]\bar{y}=[/tex] [tex](8 + 12 + 3 + 5 + 11) / 5 = 7.8[/tex]

Calculating the sums:

[tex]\sum(x - \bar{x})(y - \bar{y})=(4 - 4)(8 - 7.8) + (7 - 4)(12 - 7.8) + (1 - 4)(3 - 7.8) + (2 - 4)(5 - 7.8) + (6 - 4)(11 - 7.8) = -1.8[/tex]

[tex]\sum(x - \bar{x})^2=(4 - 4)^2 + (7 - 4)^2 + (1 - 4)^2 + (2 - 4)^2 + (6 - 4)^2 = 20[/tex]

Substituting values into the correlation coefficient formula.

r = (-1.8) / √(20 × 43.6) ≈ -0.453

The correlation coefficient (r) is approximately -0.453.

The firm's marginal revenue can be expressed as -3 times the change in price (∆P). To determine the profit-maximizing price, we set the marginal revenue (-3P * ∆P) equal to the constant marginal cost of $20 per unit.

a) The firm's marginal revenue can be expressed as a function of its price by using the elasticity of demand. With a constant elasticity of demand (-3), the marginal revenue formula is derived.

The formula for marginal revenue (MR) as a function of price (P) can be derived using the elasticity of demand (ε). The elasticity of demand is the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price.

ε = (%ΔQ / Q) / (%ΔP / P)

Since the elasticity of demand is constant at -3, we can rewrite the equation as:

-3 = (%ΔQ / Q) / (%ΔP / P)

Simplifying the equation, we get:

(%ΔQ / Q) = -3 * (%ΔP / P)

Since the percentage change in quantity demanded (%ΔQ / Q) is approximately equal to the percentage change in quantity (∆Q / Q), we can rewrite the equation as:

∆Q / Q = -3 * (∆P / P)

Marginal revenue is the change in total revenue (∆TR) resulting from a one-unit change in quantity. So, we can express marginal revenue (MR) as:

MR = ∆TR / ∆Q

Substituting the relationship between ∆Q / Q and ∆P / P derived above, we get:

MR = P * (∆Q / Q) = P * (-3 * (∆P / P))

Simplifying the equation, we have:

MR = -3P * ∆P

Therefore, the firm's marginal revenue can be expressed as -3P times the change in price (∆P).

b) To determine the profit-maximizing price, we need to set marginal revenue equal to marginal cost. Since the marginal cost is constant at $20 per unit, we equate -3P * ∆P to $20.

-3P * ∆P = $20

To find the profit-maximizing price, we need additional information, such as the specific functional form of the demand curve or the relationship between price and quantity demanded. Without this information, it is not possible to provide an exact numerical value for the profit-maximizing price.
