Voters arrive at a polling booth in a remote Queensland town at an average rate of 30 per hour. There are two candidates contesting the election and the town is divided. Candidate A is far more popular, and is known that any voter will vote for her with probability 0.85. (a) The electoral officer arrived exactly 6 minutes late to open the booth, and one voter was waiting outside. What is the probability that the voter had been waiting for...

18. We mentioned that the median voter theorem doesn't always work, and sometimes a winning policy doesn't exist. This fact has driven economists and political scientists to write thousands of papers and books, both proving that fact and also trying to find good workarounds. The most famous theoretical example of how voting doesn't work is the Condorcet paradox. The Marquis de Condorcet, a French nobleman in the 1700s, wondered what would happen if three voters had...

please answer all questions!
15. When a drought hits a country and a famine is possible, what probably falls more: the demand for food or the demand for haircuts? Why? Demand for food falls more because people want to eat less during a drought or famine. Demand for haircuts falls more because haircuts are an inferior good compared with food. Demand for food falls more because food is more of a luxury good than haircuts. Demand for haircuts falls more...

1. When do we use an independent groups t-test? a. b. c. d. When we are comparing means from one sample that has been measured twice. When we are comparing means from two different samples. When we are comparing a sample mean to a population mean. When we are comparing two population means. 2.

We are going to assume the class is a group of policy makers at a large insurance company – ABC HMO. Part of our pay is based on the company's financial performance for the current year. Specifically, the company looks at actual vs. projected medical expenses per member. The expected is based on last year's actual adjusted for inflation. One of our planners read the below article in the NY Times and recommends we reduce our coverage of routine breast...

C++. Need some help getting started. We will also have the following two functions: 1. A mutate function that randomly modifies a chromosome. 2. A crossover function that takes two chromosomes and splits each one at the same spot, then combines them together. Our genetic algorithm works by iterating over generations of chromosomes via the following process: 1. Generate random population. 2. Until we get an answer that is good enough, do the next steps in a loop: (a) Do...

Consider a cylindrical capacitor like that shown in Fig. 24.6. Let d = rb − ra be the spacing between the inner and outer conductors. (a) Let the radii of the two conductors be only slightly different, so that d << ra. Show that the result derived in Example 24.4 (Section 24.1) for the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor then reduces to Eq. (24.2), the equation for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, with A being the surface area of...
