Question
Calculate the coefficient of correlation from the following data:$\text{Cov.}(\text{X,Y})=488,\sigma_\text{x}=28.70,\sigma_\text{y}=18.2\text{N}=10$

Answer

$\text{r}=\frac{\text{Cov. (X,Y)}}{\sqrt{\text{Var. (X)}}\sqrt{\text{Var. (Y)}}}$$=\frac{488}{\sqrt{823.69}\sqrt{324.72}}$
$=\frac{488}{28.70\times18.01}=\frac{488}{516.8}=0.94$
High degree of correlation prevails between X and Y.

In a perfectly competitive market, a firm believes that it can sell as many units of the good as it wants by setting a price less than or equal to the market price. But, if this is the case, surely there is no reason to set a price lower than the market price. In other words, should the firm desire to sell some amount of the good, the price that it sets is exactly equal to the market price. A firm earns revenue by selling the good that it produces in the market. Let the market price of a unit of the good be p. Let q be the quantity of the good produced, and therefore sold, by the firm at price p. Then, total revenue (TR) of the firm is defined as the market price of the good (p) multiplied by the firm's output (q). Hence, TR = p x q.
1. State the relationship between marginal revenue and total revenue.
2. Under perfect competition, rate of TR never declines. Do you agree?"
