SUBJECT: MICROECONOMICS (ECO 162) ASSIGNMENT 2 QUESTION 1 ACCORDING TO THEORY OF DISTRIBUTION‚ EXPLAIN HOW DOES WAGE IS DETERMINED? Certainly the market demand and supply of these factors. In other words‚ wages‚ rent‚ interest and profit are determined by the supply and demand of the respective factor or resource. This is explained by the concept of marginal product (MP) or marginal physical product (MPP). For example: labor and wages. In this case MP and MPP refer to additional

values for different individuals. A categorical variable places an individual into one of several groups or categories. A quantitative variable takes numerical values for which arithmetic operations such as adding and averaging make sense. The distribution of a variable tells us what values the variable takes and how often it takes these values A time plot of a variable plots each observation against the time at which it was measured. Always mark the time scale on the horizontal axis and the variable

Chapter 5 1) An automatic machine inserts mixed vegetables into a plastic bag. Past experience revealed that some packages were underweight and some were overweight‚ but most of them had satisfactory weight. What is the probability of selecting three packages that are satisfactory? Answer: P(all 3 satisfactory) = (0.9) (0.9) (0.9) = 0.729 2) A study of interior designers ’ opinions with respect to the most desirable primary color for executive offices showed that: What is the probability

If the probability of success is 0.4 and the number of trials in a binomial distribution is 150‚ then its variance is 6. FALSE σ2= (np(1-p)) =(150*0.4*0.6) = 36. But the standard deviation is 6. 2. If a fair coin is tossed 20 times then the probability of less than 10 Tails is less than 0.4 (less than 40% chance). FALSE It

Product: For most customers‚ a product is not only the product itself (the core)‚ but also the services and intangibles that surround it (the product surround). The surround includes: Before and after sales service. Delivery. Availability. Advice. Finance. Guarantees and warranties. Quality perceptions. Value perceptions. Reputation and brand name. Other user’s recommendations. Price: Pricing is important for several reasons: The price charged will determine margins and‚ in the end
