Applet Exercise 1. Use the applet Chi-Square Probabilities and Quantiles to find \(P[Y>E(Y)]\) when Y has \(\mathrm{X}^{2}\) distributions with 10, 40, and 80 df. 2. What did you notice about \(P[Y>E(Y)]\) as the number of degrees of freedom increases as in part (a)? 3. How does what you observed i

Urban Economics 8
The 19th century brought many changes in commuting, from walking to omni- buses, electric trolleys (streetcars), and subways. a. For each commuting method, draw a housing-price curve for a monocentric city, labeling each curve with the date on which the method was introduced. b. Over time, the feasib
