Answer to Question 1

An increase in consumer preference will shift the demand curve to the right, which increases the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity. A decrease in the number of manufacturers will shift the supply curve to the left, which will increase the equilibrium price and decrease the equilibrium quantity. In both cases, the equilibrium price increases. For the equilibrium quantity to increase, the rightward shift in demand resulting from the increase in consumer preference must be more than the leftward shift in supply which results from the decrease in manufacturers.

Answer to Question 2

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
