uestion 3 (1 point) the production function is f(x1, x2) = x1/21x1/22. If the price of factor 1 is $10 and the price of factor 2 is $20, in what proportions should the firm use factors 1 and 2 if it wants to maximize profits? Question 3 options: We can’t tell without knowing the price of output. x1 = 2x2. x1 = 0.50x2. x1 = x2. x1 = 20x2. Question 4 (1 point) A firm has the production function f(X,...
f(x1, x2) = -2(x1)(x2)+ (x1)^3 + (x2)^3 a) Find a maximum in the region where x1 ≤ 1 and x2 ≤ 1 (Hint: remember to check what happens when x1 = 1 and x2 = 1) b) Now consider (x1, x2) ∈ R 2 , that is, the entire two-dimensional space where x1 and x2 are in[−∞,+∞]. Is there a maximum?
22. Suppose that X1, X2,...,x, Fp, where F, is a discrete distribution with probability mass function p(x) = p(1– p)* for x=0,1,2,.... (See Example 7.3.9.) The MLE Ộ=1/(1+X) has the asymptotic distribution below: VnCô–p) DY~N(0,(1 – p)p?). (8.54) Use the normal distribution in (8.54) to obtain, via a variance stabilizing transformation, an approximate 100(1 – a)% confidence interval for p.
