Show all workig icludig itermediate results. Write aswers to EACH sectio i a SEARATE aswer booklet. A formula sheet is attached to this exam paper. Notes are ot permitted i this examiatio. Do ot tur over util you are told to do so by the Ivigilator. ECO-400Y Module Cotact: Dr eter Dawso, ECO Copyright of the Uiversity of East Aglia Versio
2 SECTION A [Mathematics] age. The Demad ad Supply equatios for a particular good are: D : Q S : Q a b c Solve the pair of simultaeous equatios D ad S i order to obtai the equilibrium price ad quatity, * ad Q*. [ marks] Ivert the two equatios, so that they show i terms of Q. Make sure that your iverted equatios are each the equatio of a straight lie. [ marks] Sketch the two lies represeted by the equatios obtaied i b. Label the lies D ad S, ad label the market equilibrium. d Calculate the price elasticity of demad at the market equilibrium. [ marks] e f Suppose the govermet imposes a fixed tax of 4 per uit. Calculate the ew market equilibrium price ad quatity. Calculate the deadweight loss that is geerated from the impositio of the tax.. The value of a secod had car reduces expoetially with age, so its value y after t years ca be modelled by: y 0, 000exp 0. 5t a What is the value of the car after 5 years? [ marks] b The car is ow worth,000. What is the approximate age of the car?
3 age 3 3. A firm s demad fuctio is represeted by: Q 536 a b Fid the level of output that maximises total reveue ad verify that this is a maximum. [4 marks] Suppose we are ow told the firm s total cost fuctio is: Q TC 3 3 5Q 480Q 750 At what level of output is profit maximised? How much profit does the firm make at this level of output? [6 marks] 4. A firm s productio fuctio is give by: Q L. K a Demostrate that the fuctio is homogeeous ad fid the degree of homogeeity. Commet o the returs to scale. b Fid the margial products of labour L ad capital K. c M What is the slope of the isoquat L? MK [ marks] TURN OVER
4 age 4 5. A cosumer s utility fuctio is give by goods. U x y / 5 4 / 5 where x ad y are two Suppose that total icome is 00 ad the prices are 5 for each uit of good x ad for each uit of good y. a b c Use costraied optimisatio, specifically the Lagragia method, to fid the cosumer s demad for both goods. [8 marks] What is the value of the Lagrage multiplier? rovide a ecoomic iterpretatio of the value. [ marks] How large is utility at the costraied maximum idetified i part a? [ marks]
5 age 5 Start your aswer to the ext sectio i a ew booklet SECTION B [Statistics] 6. Mercy s ightclub obtais the followig data o the age ad marital status of 40 customers. Marital status Sigle Married Uder or over 8 a What is the probability a customer is married ad uder 5? [ mark] b If a customer is uder 5, what is the probability that he or she is sigle? [ mark] c Is marital status idepedet of age? Explai your aswer. [ marks] d The probability that a customer at Mercy s ightclub is ivolved i a icidet is The probability of a customer at a rival ightclub, Flame, beig ivolved i a icidet is The chace that there is a story i the ext editio of the local ewspaper about Mercy s is 40% ad is 60% for Flame. Suppose i the ext editio of the ewspaper there is a headlie that reads, icidet at ightclub. What is the probability that the story is about Mercy s? [4 marks] TURN OVER
6 age 6 7. A report by Grat Thorto suggests the mea basic salary for bosses of the largest UK compaies FTSE 00 Executives was 583,9 i 04. Assume the stadard deviatio was 45,5. Assume the populatio is ormally distributed. a What is the probability that a radomly selected boss has a salary betwee millio ad.5 millio? [ marks] b Te percet of bosses have a salary of how much or less? You obtai a radom sample of basic salary for 5 FTSE 00 Executives. c Fid the stadard error of the sample mea salary. [ marks] d What is the probability that the sample mea is greater tha 60,000? [ marks] e What is the probability that the sample mea differs from the populatio mea by more tha 00,000? 8. A radom sample of six UK maufactured cars i 04 has the followig CO emissios figures: a Calculate the mea, variace ad stadard deviatio. [4 marks] b c Fid the 95% cofidece iterval for the populatio mea. Iterpret the result. [4 marks] Calculate the required sample size i order for the margi of error to be o greater tha 0 i either directio. [ marks]
7 age 7 9. The press has recetly reported extesively o the growig problem of childhood obesity i the UK. You wish to perform your ow statistical aalysis, usig data from a local school. Childre leave the school at age, at which time their weight i Kg is recorded. The data that is available is of 5 pupils who left the school i 994, ad 35 who left i 04. Descriptive statistics for the two samples are cotaied i the followig table: 994 sample 04 sample sample size 5 35 mea stadard deviatio Let be the populatio mea weight of 994 leavers, ad be the populatio mea weight of 04 leavers. a b c Accordig to Departmet of Health guidelies, the ideal weight for -yearolds is 44Kg. Is there evidece i the 04 sample that today s childre weigh more tha this ideal weight? Combie the two sample stadard deviatios to obtai the pooled stadard deviatio, Sp. Does a compariso of the two samples reveal that childre weigh more i 04 tha they did i 994? erform a appropriate test. [4 marks] TURN OVER
8 age 8 0. You are iterested i the relatioship betwee icome ad age. Usig a sample of survey data for the East of Eglad, you obtai the followig regressio results from SSS.
