An economist studying the supply for a particular commodity gathers the data in the accompanying table, which lists the number of units q (in thousands) of the commodity that will be supplied to the market by producers at a price of p dollars per unit. Use this information together with the trapezoidal rule to estimate the producers’ surplus when 7,000 units are supplied (q₀ = 7).
