2. Numerical example of screening for breast cancer
Let’s work with some numbers in connection with extensive and intensive margin using the screening example mentioned in the book. Let’s assume that p, probability of detecting true cases, is 0.9; q, probability of a false positive, is 0.05; f, probability of true positives in the population, is 0.2.
- Consider the initial population of 1,000, what is the yield (total number of detection)?
- Now, suppose that we extend the screening to a new population of 1,000 woman with younger age, whose f is only 0.1 (less of them would have breast cancer). Calculate the additional yield. What is the extensive margin?
- Go back to case a) with the original population, suppose now we can increase p to 0.95 by screening women more frequently, at a price of a higher q of 0.1. What is total yield now? What is the intensive margin?

Problem #1 (8 points) Suppose you have gone bowling with an excellent player who bowls a strike (ie when they hit all of the pins) 73% of the time. By the fourth frame, this person realizes that they can clincha first place in a local tournament by bowling 3 consecutive strikes. What is the likelihood of this happening! Problem #2:...

**Only [Harder] Question** Problem 2. Consider a firm that has a cost function of c(y) = 5y 2 + 50, 000. In other words, this is a firm with a fixed cost of $50,000 (which might be something like the cost of rent on the firm’s building, which they have to pay whether they produce any output or not) and a variable cost of $5Y 2 , (which we’ll think of as the cost of the labor and machinery necessary...

Q: Compare the assumptions of physician-centered and
collaborative communication. How is the caregiver’s role different
in each model? How is the patient’s role different?
Answer: Physical-centered communication involves the specialists
taking control of the conversation. They decide on the topics of
discussion and when to end the process. The patient responds to the
issues raised by the caregiver and acts accordingly. On the other
hand, Collaborative communication involves a...
