GRAPHING PART
10. In this question we are going to model Pareto's Principle:
(10 marks)
80%(0.8) of the work will be done by the 20%(0.2) of the people who have done the most work.
Let's consider a power function W=W(p)=a*pb where a and b are parameters to be determined below. The independent variable p represents the fraction p of the population consisting of people that have done the most work, and it takes values between 0 and 1. For example, p=0.5 represents 50% of the whole population, taken from the ones who have done the most work.
10.1(2 marks) What is W(1)? In other words, how much work is done by the entire population?
W(1)=
10.2(2 marks) Express Pareto's Principle using the function W(p).
W()=
10.3(3 marks) Find the parameters a and b of the power function W(p)=a*pb that satisfies 10.1 and 10.2 above. Include your calculations below.
W(p)=
10.4(3 marks) Sketch a log-log plot for W(p). Label the axes, slope and the intercept.
You can use the space below for your calculations. They won't be marked.
