How? 3.12 If Melody has more classical records than rock and roll records, she is willing to exchange exactly 1 classical record for 2 rock and roll records, but if she has more rock and roll records than classical records, then she is willing to exchange exactly 1 rock and roll record for 2 classical records. Melody has convex preferences. Show transcribed image text 3.12 If Melody has more classical records than rock and roll records, she is willing to...
If a consumer has more xı than X2, she is willing to exchange exactly 1 unit of xį for 2 units x2, but if she has more x2 than xì, then she is willing to exchange exactly 1 unit of x2 for 2 units of xi, where xı is on the horizontal axis and X2 is on the vertical axis. We can say that this consumer has concave preferences. True False
3. Jo spends all her money on records. She only considers buying disco and classic rock, and she is always willing to give up two classic rock for one disco record. a. Create a utility function describing Jo’s preferences. b. Sketch an indifference curve showing bundle giving her the same utility as when she has 4 disco and 4 classic rock records. c. A disco record costs $25 and a rock record $10. If Jo has $140 how what is...
Consider an exchange economy with two goods and two agents. Agent A likes to consume more of either good, but when she consumes a bundle, she dislikes mixing her consumption of both goods. Therefore she only cares for the maximal amount of either good contained in a bundle. Her preferences are represented by ui(xA1 , xA2 ) = max{xA1 , xA2 }. Agent B has preferences represented by ui(xB1 , xB2 ) = (xB1 )^2 + (xB2 )^2. Both agents...
In room #1 is Melody Bloom. She is a 56 year old woman who has been here for 8 days. She initially went to the med/surg unit post-operatively after an exploratory laparotomy for a perforated bowel due to ulcerative colitis. She came to the unit with symptoms of peritonitis and pneumonia which progressed despite antibiotics and she is now suffering from septic shock. Also, her WBC's continue to go up and are now at 32,000 despite the antibiotics she has...
1. In rock-salt phases, cations are more mobile than the anions. (19/22 pts) a) For the 2D slices of the rock salt structure shown below, sketch and identify the 2 types of intrinsic point defects possible for pure rock salt phases. (5 pts) b) What effect, if any, do you expect an increase in temperature to have on the conductivity and c) Consider rock salt phases with composition MgO, NaF and NaCl. Which of these do you expect d) Small...
The nucleus can become unstable when it contains more protons than neutrons because: 1. exchange forces compete with Coulombic forces 2. exchange forces cause neutrons to repel each other 3. exchange forces cause protons to repel each other 4. exchange forces have a shorter range than coulombic forces
1. True or False, and explain briefly. 1) The assumption that more is better implies that the indifference curves are upward sloping 2) Convexity of indifference curves implies that consumers are willing to give up more to get an extra the more they have 3) Consider the following three bundles. Bundle Good Goody If Bundles A and B are on the same indifference curve, preferences satisfy all the usual assumptions introduced in the lecture, Bundle Cis preferred to Bundle A...
Pedro thinks that he has a special relationship with the number 2. In particular, Pedro thinks that he would roll a 2 with a fair 6-sided die more often than you'd expect by chance alone. Suppose p is the true proportion of the time Pedro will roll a 2.(a) State the null and alternative hypotheses for testing Pedro's claim. Type the symbol "p" for the population proportion, whichever symbols you need of "<", ">", "=", "not =" and express any...
