When a government punishes and/or imprisons those who are found guilty of using illicit drugs, it is trying to stop the illegal drug trade by moving the demand curve for illegal substances to the left.

The government wants people to abstain from using illegal narcotics, thus in order to stop individuals from doing so, it is punishing those who do. And for this reason, individuals won't use those illegal drugs or won't buy them as much, which will naturally move to the "demand curve" to the left.

The demand curve is a graphical depiction of the connection between the cost of a commodity or service and the amount demanded over a specific time period. A common representation will have the price on the left-hand vertical axis and the amount needed on the right-hand horizontal axis.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is false to conclude that on crucial issues such as this, it is more important to gather information through the informal organization, as opposed to the formal organization because f<u>ormal organizations are designed to achieve crucial goals through the collective work of the individuals who are its members. They rely on a division of labor and hierarchy of power and authority to ensure that the work is done in a unified and efficient manner. while the primary function of informal organizations is basically to maintain cultural values and the provision of social satisfaction for its members.</u>

juin [17]

Answer:

The proportion of people in your sample whose response is yes=40 people

Explanation:

<em>Step 1: Determine the statistical proportion that will say yes</em>

Proportion=40%=40/100=0.4

<em>Step 2: Determine the proportion in the sample that will say yes</em>

The proportion in the sample can be expressed as;

P=S×Z

where;

P=proportion in the sample

S=statistical proportion

Z=sample size

In our case;

P=unknown to be determined

S=40%=40/100=0.4

Z=100

replacing;

Proportion in the sample=0.4×100=40

The proportion of people in your sample whose response is yes=40 people

Growth of GDP = (DGP of Current/recent period - GDP of Prior period) / DGP of Prior period

In this question prior period is quarter 10 and current /recent period is quarter 11.

So, formula will be

Growth of GDP = (DGP of quarter 11 - GDP of quarter 10) / GDP of quarter 10

As we need to calculate the real GDP growth the formula will be as follow

Growth of real GDP = (Real DGP of quarter 11 - Real GDP of quarter 10) / Real GDP of quarter 10

Growth of real GDP = ($5,252 billion - $4,954 billion) / $4,954 billion

Growth of real GDP = $298 billion / $4,954 billion

Growth of real GDP = 6.02% = 6%
