Examples 6.3‚ 6.4‚ and 6.5 (page 338) – Large Sample Hypothesis Test of a Mean Example 6.3 A manufacturer of cereal wants to test the performance of one of its filling machines. The machine is designed to discharge a mean amount of 12 ounces per box‚ and the manufacturer wants to detect any departure from this setting. This quality study calls for randomly sampling 100 boxes from today’s production run and determining whether the mean fill for the run is 12 ounces per box. Set up a test of

interest rate rises. The supply and demand for loanable funds depend on the real interest rate and not nominal. Increase in saving = shift the supply of loanable funds to the right = reduces the interest rate. (graphique page 181) Increase in investment = demand for loanable funds increase = interest rise. Incentive to increase investment = increase in quantity of loanable funds demanded When the government has a budget deficit‚ the national saving decreases‚ so the supply of loanable funds decreases

According to Colander (2010)‚ economics is the study of how human beings manage their wants and desires. Buyers based their wants and needs on marginal costs and marginal benefits. Sellers based their supply production on the consumer demand shift‚ and seller set their prices according to the demand change. That is just some of the basics of economics.

short-term and long-term pricing strategies. Provide a rationale in which you cite your results. Price elasticity is -1.19. This indicates a 1% increase in the price of the product‚ which results the quantity demanded to drop by 1.19%. Therefore‚ the demand of this product is somewhat elastic. Subsequently‚ increase in price may drive customers away. Cross-price elasticity is 0.68. If the price of a competitor’s product goes up by 1%‚ then quantity demanded of this product will increase by 0.68%

Supply and Demand Simulation This week’s simulation is based on GoodLife Management. GoodLife Management is located in the fictitious town of Atlantis‚ and rents two-bedroom apartments on a month-to-month basis. The simulation provided working examples of several factors that effectively change the supply and demand of GoodLife’s rentals over the course of several years. These factors include GoodLife’s management direction‚ population changes within Atlantis and outlying areas‚ changes in consumer’s

in 2012. Housing prices have also dropped‚ but recently‚ the average cost for a house has also risen. The article states that this is mainly because of low interest rates and shortage of supply. Low interest rates (charges that borrowers pay to lenders for using the borrowed money)‚ would cause a shift in demand (the capability and willingness to consume a commodity at a given price at a given time) to the right (from D to D1). The reason for this is because consumers are predicted to borrow more
