Use the appropriate normal distribution to approximate the resulting binomial distribution. A marksman's chance of hitting a target with each of his shots is 60%. (Assume the shots are independent of each other.) If he fires 50 shots, what is the probability of his hitting the target in each of the following situations? (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) at least 35 times Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. (b) fewer than 23 times Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. (c) between 28 and 35 times, inclusive Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.

2. Airline pricing is such that a full-fare paying passenger can be seated next to another passenger who paid much less for his/her ticket, even though each passenger is receiving the same quality of seat and in-flight services, regardless of the airfare each paid. a. Even though all passengers in a flight receive the same quality of seat and services, an airline is able to charge different prices for each passenger. What factors commonly used by an airline to differentiate prices charged to passengers? b. Consumers of an airline company can be grouped into two groups, i.e. business travellers and regular travellers, each with a different price elasticity of demand. Using a graph show how the company differentiates airfare to be charged to each group of travellers. What degree of price discrimination applies in this case? c. Firms with monopoly power can set the price of their products by using the golden rule of pricing: $\qquad P = \frac{MC}{(1 + \frac{1}{E})}$where, P = price, MC = marginal cost, and E = price elasticity of demand market. Explain your understanding of the formula, particularly: the condition it represents and the implication of it on the relationship between price and price elasticity of demand. d. Suppose for a certain flight, the price elasticity of demand of business travellers is $E_b = -1.5$, and the price elasticity of demand of regular travellers is $E_r = -3.0$. Meanwhile the total cost of running each flight is TC = 50,000,000 + 200,000Q. By using the formula in (c), determine the airfare to be charged to each group of travellers.
Use the money market diagram and the IS-LM-FX model to show graphically the effects of a decrease in money demand on the output, interest rate, exchange rate, consumption, investment, and trade balance. Assume a floating exchange rate regime.
(Estimation of liquid-phase diffusivity)¹ Estimate the diffusivity of (a) methanol in water, (b) ethylene oxide in water, and (c) benzene in ethanol at 25°C using the Wilke-Chang equation. Compare with the experimental values given in Table 2.5. Estimate the molar volume (cm³/gmol) of the solute at the normal boiling point using the Tyn and Clous correlation, $V_b = 0.285V_c^{1.048}$, where $V_c$ is the critical volume, cm³/gmol (get the necessary data from Poling et al., 2001).
4. (15 Points) By drawing their energy band diagrams, explain the electrical conductivity differences between a metal, semiconductor and an insulator.
