michael and martha run a mechanic shop. in one hour michael can perform eight oil changes or change ten tires. in one hour martha can perform seven oil changes or change fourteen tires. michael and martha have the same amount of resources. given this information which of the following is true?

Answers

Answer 1

Based on the information given the correct option is option E.) Michael has an absolute and comparative advantage in changing the oil.

Absolute advantage refers to the ability of a country or firm to produce a good or service at a lower cost than another country or firm. It is a concept in international trade and economic theory.

A country or firm has an absolute advantage in a good or service if it can produce that good or service more efficiently than another country or firm.

An individual has a comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared with other individuals.

The opportunity cost of Michael in the changing of oil = 10/ 8 = 1.25

Opportunity cost of Michael in changing tyres = 8 / 10 = 0.8

The opportunity cost of Martha in the changing of oil = 14 / 7 = 2

The opportunity cost of Martha in the changing of tyres = 7 / 14 = 0.5

Michael has an opportunity cost in changing of oil and Martha has an opportunity cost in changing of tyres.

Absolute advantage is when an individual produces more quantity of a good or service when compared to others.

So, Michael changes more oil (8) than Martha (7). Martha changes more tyres (14) than Michael (7)

Therefore, Based on the information given the correct option is option E.) Michael has an absolute and comparative advantage in changing the oil.

The complete question is:

Michael and Martha run a mechanic shop. In one hour Michael can perform eight oil changes or change ten tires. In one hour Martha can perform seven oil changes or change fourteen tires. Given this information which of the following is true?

A) Martha has a comparative advantage in changing oil.

B) Martha has an absolute advantage in changing oil.

C) Michael has a comparative advantage in changing tires.

D)Michael has an absolute advantage in changing tires.

E.) Michael has an absolute and a comparative advantage in changing oil

What is statistics ?

Statistics are defined as numerical data, and is the field of math that deals with the collection, tabulation and interpretation of numerical data. It is the study and manipulation of data, including ways to gather, review, analyze, and draw conclusions from data.

Given:

The date are arranged from ascending order

9,14,15,18,20,22,29,36,36,42,45,51

Now you have one lower half with the numbers 9,14,15,18,20,22 and an upper half with the numbers 36,36,42,45,51.

As you can see in the figure, you have to find the median for these lower and upper halfs, so you have:

[tex]Q_{1} =16\\\\Q_{3} =35\\[/tex]

Now we can find the interquartile range that is:

[tex]IQR=Q_{3} -Q_{1}\\\\IQR=35-16\\\\IQR=19[/tex]

Therefore, the interquartile range (IQR) of the data set is 19.

I think you meant [tex]2^{4}[/tex] and [tex]3^{2}[/tex]. With exponents, you don't add the number and the exponent. What you have to do is the first number times itself, and let's use number one as an example. So, since it's four you have to do this.

[tex]2^4[/tex]= 2 x 2 x 2 x 2= 16

and for problem number two, it's the same thing but different numbers.

[tex]3^{2}[/tex]= 3 x 3 x 3= 9

The graph is going down so the slope is negative, from (0,6) count down to (0,0) and count right 12 unit to reach the x-intercept(12,0) the slope is -6/12 or -1/2.

the equation of the line is y=-1/2+6 or x+2y=12

Answer:

Realmente no sé, lo siento muchísimo :(

Estoy tan triste que no puedo ayudar: ((((

Step-by-step explanation:

An experimental psychologist plans a study in which a crucial step is offering participants a food reward. It is important that the three food rewards be equal in appeal. Thus, a prestudy was designed in which participants were asked which of the rewards they preferred. Of the 60 participants, 16 preferred cupcakes, 26 preferred candy bars, and 18 favored dried apricots. Do these scores suggest that the different foods are differentially preferred by people in general? (Use the .05 significance level.)
You must use all five steps in hypothesis testing:
Restate the question as a research hypothesis and a null hypothesis about the populations.
Determine the characteristics of the comparison distribution.
Determine the cutoff sample score on the comparison distribution at which the null hypothesis should be rejected.
Determine your sample’s score on the comparison distribution.
Decide whether to reject the null hypothesis.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

[tex]\mathbf{H_o: there \ is \ no \ significanr \ difference \ between \ observed \ and \ expected \ value }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{H_a: there \ is \ significanr \ difference \ between \ observed \ and \ expected \ value }[/tex]

The characteristic of the comparison is a uniform distribution.

Since there are three categories from the data, then: the data obeys a U(0,3) distribution. However, supposed it happened that different food had the same appeal, thus, there will be uniform distribution in the preference score.

[tex]Degree \ of \ freedom \ df = n - 1 \\ \\ df = 3 - 1 = 2[/tex]

At 0.05;

Thus, at 0.05 and df of 2, the cutoff sample score at which [tex]H_o[/tex] will be reject is the critical value [tex]\mathbf{X_{0.05,2}^2 \ which \ is \ = 5.991}[/tex]

Prefered     Observed    Expected     Expected     (O - E)       (O - E)²/ E

                   frequency   frequency     proportions

Cup cakes           16        20                  0.333          -4.00           0.800

Candy bars          26       20                 0.333             6.00           1.800

Dried apricots      18        20                 0.333            -2.00          0.200

Total                     60       20                     1                 -2.00           2.800

Thus the sample score is [tex]\mathbf{X^2_{observed} = 2.800}[/tex]

Decision rule: To reject the null hypothesis if the observed test statistic is higher than the critical value.

Conclusion: We fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that different foods have the same appeal to different people.

C .50+2.25p=3.85

D. 2.75+.25p=4.10
