Suppose that
Y1
is the total time between a customer's arrival in the store and departure from the service window,
Y2
is the time spent in line before reaching the window, and the joint density of these variables is
f(y1, y2) =
e−y1, | 0 ≤ y2 ≤ y1 < ∞, |
0, elsewhere. |

The management at a fast-food outlet is interested in the joint behavior of the randomvariables Y1 , defined as the total time between a customer’s arrival at the store and departurefrom the service window, and Y2 , the time a customer waits in line before reaching the servicewindow. Because Y1 includes the time a customer waits in line, we must have Y Y 1 2 ≥ . Therelative frequency distribution of observed values of Y1 and Y2 can be modeled...
(Q6) The management at a fast-food outlet is interested in the joint behaviour of the random variables Yı, defined as the total time between a customer's arrival at the store and departure from the service window, and Y2, the time a customer waits in line before reaching the service window. Because Yſ includes the time a customer waits in line, we must have Yi > Y. The relative frequency distribution of observed values of Yi and Y2 can be modelled...

Consider the following statements. (i) Given a second-order linear ODE, the method of variation of parameters gives a particular solution in terms of an integral provided y1 and y2 can be found. (ii) The Laplace Transform is an integral transform that turns the problem of solving constant coefficient ODEs into an algebraic problem. This transform is particularly useful when it comes to studying problems arising in applications where the forcing function in the ODE is piece-wise continuous but not necessarily...
Question 2. Consider the following 8 bundles of goods x and y: A = (8,4) B = (5,6) C = (5,9) D = (10,3) E =(1,4) F =(6,5) G=(2,8) H =(7,8) (a) Come up with an example of a utility function that will produce the following order of preference for the bundles, where H is most preferred, A and G are equally preferred, and E is least preferred. H , C , B , F , A = G ,...
2. (18 marks total) In this exercise, we will derive the famous "envelope theorem". Suppose you wish to (unconditionally) maximize some objective function f(x,y; a), where r and y are two variables you can choose, while a is some variable that is given exogenously. Note that, even though we don't get to choose a, it may still affect the optimal choice of r. An example of a variable like this would be the wage in the household problem we discussed...
2. Symbolic analysis of supply and demand: The following demand and supply functions provide a relatively general description of a market: where P is the price, Y is a variable denoting income, and Qd and Qs are the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied. The constants A, b, c, D, and e have values greater than zero. (a) Identify the parameters, endogenous variables, and exogenous variables in the above system of equations. (b) Derive expressions for the equilibrium market price...
