Answer to Question 2

Public goods are both nonrival in consumption (one person's consumption does not diminish another's) and nonexclusive (you cannot prevent nonpaying individuals from benefiting from the good). Private goods are both rivalrous and exclusive. One's consumption of such a good does diminish another's, and you can keep nonpaying individuals from consuming the good or service.
