Probability and Statistical Inference 9
(Michigan Mathematics Prize Competition, 1992, Part II) From the set \(\{1,2,3, \ldots, n\}\), \(k\) distinct integers are selected at random and arranged in numerical order (from lowest to highest). Let \(P(i, r, k, n)\) denote the probability that integer \(i\) is in position \(r\). For example, ob

Suppose the marginal value of a square foot of factory space is constant at $1.00. The marginal benefit of a square foot of housing space is $1.00 for 1,000 square feet and $0.80 for 1,200 square feet. Suppose the government provides a 20 percent mortgage subsidy, cutting the net price of housing to
