Question 1
Suppose demand and supply are given by Qd = 14 -1/2P and Qs = 1/4P - 1.
a. What are the equilibrium quantity and price in this market? Show your work?
Hint:
1. Draw the demand and supply graph and label all initial points ( D0, S0, P0, E0), following the use of comparative statics given your text on pages 62-65)
2. Set demand equal to Supply and solve the values. See page 62 for a practice problem
3. Next, insert the values in the graph.

Question 1a) Hint Step 1) Draw the Price axis as the vertical axis. Draw the Quantity axis as the horizontal axis. Find the Price and Quantity axis intercepts of the Qd and Qs functions given.
When P = 0, Qd = 14.
When Qd = 0, P = 28.
Use these intercepts to sketch the Qd curve.
When P = 0, Qs = -1.
When Qs = 0, P = 4.
Use these intercepts to sketch the Qs curve.
Usually, the symbols D0 and S0 are used to label the demand and supply curves; ...

- "GREAT JOB!!!"
- "Hello, thank you for your answer for my probability question. However, I think you interpreted the second and third question differently than was meant, as the assumption still stands that a person still independently ranks the n options first. The probability I am after is the probability that this independently determined ranking then is equal to one of the p fixed rankings. Similarly for the third question, where the x people choose their ranking independently, and then I want the probability that for x people this is equal to one particular ranking. I was wondering if you could help me with this. "
