Suppose that when tomorrow (time t + 1) arrives, an individual will order food to be eaten tomorrow as if he is maximizing a utility function U(ft+1I ht+1) = −(ft+1 − ht+1)2
where ft+1 stands for food at time t + 1 and ht+1 stands for how hungry she is at time t + 1. Solve for the amount of food that he will order tomorrow, for tomorrow.
(b) Now suppose that when ordering food today to be eaten tomorrow, the same individual behaves as if she has the following utility function:
U(ft+1| ht+1, ht) = −(1 − α)(ft+1 − ht+1) 2 − α(ft+1 − ht) 2
where α ∈ [0, 1]. Thus, the amount she orders for tomorrow depends on how hungry she is today, and how hungry she will be tomorrow (which you can assume she forecasts with perfect accuracy). Solve for the optimal amount of food that she will order today, for tomorrow.
(c) How might we interpret the parameter α in terms of projection bias?
(d) If α = 1, how much food does the individual order today, for tomorrow?
(e) Suppose the individual orders food today for tomorrow. Under what conditions would she prefer, once tomorrow arrives, to throw all of the food away rather than eat everything she ordered?
(f) Describe a real-life example of where such projection bias may lead to economic inefficiency or misallocated resources. This example can be from a paper we discussed in lecture, or you may think of another application.

Answer:  14.25x is the expression

It represents the total combined cost everyone paid.

=======================================================

Explanation:

Add up the price of a ticket, a medium drink, and a large popcorn.

7.50+2.75+4.00 = 14.25

Each person spends $14.25 for those three items.

If x is the unknown number of people, then 14.25x represents the total amount spent by everyone combined.

Example: x = 10 people, so 14.25x = 14.25*10 = 142.50 dollars total is spent by everyone combined.

For each variable, the possible values are:

a) T = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

b) X = {-4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

c) U = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

d) Z = {0, 1, 2}

Item a:

In total, there are 10 pumps, hence the possible values are all integers from 0 to 10, that is:

T = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

Item b:

In the first, there are 6 pumps, and in the second 4, hence, the difference ranges from -4 to 6, that is:

X = {-4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Item c:

The maximum number in a station is 6 pumps, hence this variable ranges from 0 to 6.

U = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Item d:

Either none of the stations has exactly two pumps in use, or one has or both, hence the variable ranges from 0 to 2.

Z = {0, 1, 2}

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

"The number of pumps in use at both a six-pump station and a four-pump station will be determined. Give the possible values for each of the following random variables. (Enter your answers in set notation.)

a. T = the total number of pumps in use

b. X = the difference between the numbers in use at stations 1 and 2.

c. U = the maximum number of pumps in use at either station

The net number of ATP produced from eight molecules of glucose during glycolysis is 32 ATP molecules.

Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate, which in turn produces ATP. Each molecule of glucose yields two molecules of ATP and two molecules of NADH. Each NADH molecule, in turn, produces three more ATP molecules when it is oxidized in the electron transport chain. Therefore, the total number of ATP produced from one molecule of glucose is four. When eight molecules of glucose undergo glycolysis, the total number of ATP produced is 4 x 8 = 32 ATP molecules. hence 32 ATP molecules produced during the process of glycolysis.

We can use algebraic equations to solve this kind of problems. The correct answer is 50.00( 0.25p+ 1.00). So option number 3 is correct.

The cost of printing a single page = 0.25

The cost of printing p pages = 0.25p

Cost of print 50 booklets with p pages = 50× 0.25p = 12.50p

Cost of binding 1 booklet = $1

Cost of binding 50 booklet = 50

Cost of  50 booklets = Cost of printing 50 booklets with p pages + cost for binding 50 booklets

   = 12.5p + 50.00 = 50.00(0.25p+1.00)

Answer:

p = 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5p - 3.45 = -1.2.

0.5p = -1.2 + 3.45

0.5p = 2.25

0.5p/0.5 = 2.25/0.5

p = 4.5

therefore p is equal to 4.5

The range, given the cost of surfboard rentals, would be $ 140.

The interquartile range of the cost of surfboard rentals is $ 56.

There is an outlier which is the cost of 6 days of rentals which is $ 168.

To find the range, the formula is :

= Largest cost - Lowest cost

To find these costs, find the cost of the days of rentals :

1 day :                                  2 days                            3 days :

= 28 x 1                                = 28 x 2                         = 28 x 3

= $ 28                                   = $ 56                          = $ 84

6 days :

= 28 x 6

= $ 168

The range is therefore :

= 168 - 28

= $ 140

To find the Interquartile range, first find the First Quartile and the Third Quartile after ordering the costs:

Order of costs :

28, 28, 28, 56, 56, 56, 84, 84, 84, 168

First quartile position :

= 1 / 4 x ( n + 1 )

= 1 / 4 x ( 10 + 1 )

= 3 rd position which is $ 28

Third quartile position :

= 3 / 4 x ( n + 1 )

= 3 / 4 x ( 10 + 1 )

= 8 th position which is $ 84

The Interquartile range is :

= 84 - 28

= $ 56

The outlier is the cost of 6 days which is $ 168. This is a rental as it is much larger than other costs.

The total area of the banner is approximately 800.54 square inches.

A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon, having four edges and four corners

The area of the square is side length squared, or 24² = 576 square inches.

The diameter of the semicircle is also the side length of the square, so it is 24 inches.

Radius = 24/2=12 inches

The area of a semicircle is half of the area of a circle with the same radius. The area of a circle is π times the radius squared, so the area of the semicircle is:

1/2×π×12²=72π

Add Area of the square and the area of the semicircle:

To calculate the property tax rate, you need to divide the property taxes by the appraised value of the property and then multiply by 100 to express the result as a percentage.

In this case, the property tax rate can be calculated as follows:

Property tax rate = (Property taxes / Appraised value) * 100%

= ($1,650.00 / $112,000.00) * 100%

= 0.014732142857142857 * 100%

= 1.47%

So, the property tax rate in your neighborhood is 1.47%, rounded to the nearest hundredth of a percent.

Answer:

The equation for the parabola (quadratic function) that passes through the points (-1, 1), (1, -5), and (2, 1) is y = (6/49)(x - 2/3)^2 - 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a quadratic function (parabola) given three points, we can use the vertex form of the equation:

y = a(x - h)^2 + k

where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola and a is a scaling factor that determines the shape of the parabola.

To find the vertex of the parabola, we can use the formula:

h = (x1 + x2 + x3) / 3

k = (y1 + y2 + y3) / 3

where (x1, y1), (x2, y2), and (x3, y3) are the given points.

Substituting the given points into these formulas, we get:

h = (-1 + 1 + 2) / 3 = 2/3

k = (1 - 5 + 1) / 3 = -1

So the vertex of the parabola is (2/3, -1).

Now, we can substitute this vertex and one of the given points (e.g. (-1, 1)) into the vertex form equation and solve for a:

1 = a(-1 - 2/3)^2 - 1

2 = a(7/3)^2

a = 6/49

So the equation of the parabola is:

y = (6/49)(x - 2/3)^2 - 1

Answer: y = -2x^2 + 6x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for this parabola/quadratic function is y = -2x^2 + 6x - 4. To arrive at this equation, we use the fact that the equation for a parabola/quadratic function is y = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants. We can then substitute in the coordinates of each point to solve for a, b, and c.

For the point (-1,1), we have 1 = -2(-1)^2 + 6(-1) + c, so c = 5.

For the point (1,-5), we have -5 = -2(1)^2 + 6(1) + 5, so -2 = -2.

For the point (2,1), we have 1 = -2(2)^2 + 6(2) + 5, so -4 = -4.

And therefore, the equation is y = -2x^2 + 6x - 4.

The transverse axis is a line segment with vertices as its endpoints that traverses the hyperbola's center. The transverse axis's containing line is where the foci are located. The co-vertices serve as the endpoints of the conjugate axis, which is perpendicular to the transverse axis.

The transverse axis is located on the y-axis because of the equation's form, which is y^2a^2-x^2b^2 = 1. The vertices act as the graph's y-intercepts since the hyperbola is centered at the origin. Set x=0 and then solve for y to discover the vertices. Hence, the formula for a hyperbola with foci along the x-axis is x^2a^2-y^2b^2 = 1. The solution can be seen on the attached image below.
