MHB How to Calculate Equilibrium Price with Given Information?

Click For Summary
To calculate the equilibrium price, identify the point where quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. In the provided data, the equilibrium price is $15.00, as both the quantity demanded and supplied are 27 at this price point. This intersection indicates that the market is balanced, with no surplus or shortage. Understanding this concept is crucial for analyzing market dynamics. The equilibrium price reflects the optimal price for both consumers and producers.

I do not understand how to calculate the equilibrium price of an object. Say i have the following information how would i set up the information to solve for the price?

Price of (Insert the name of your good or service) Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied (in this order.)

So your equilibrium price is $15.00, because you have supply=27 and demand=27, so supply=demand.
 

Thread 'Significant figures for inherently bound values'

I have been insisting to my statistics students that for probabilities, the rule is the number of significant figures is the number of digits past the leading zeros or leading nines. For example to give 4 significant figures for a probability: 0.000001234 and 0.99999991234 are the correct number of decimal places. That way the complementary probability can also be given to the same significant figures ( 0.999998766 and 0.00000008766 respectively). More generally if you have a value that...
