Answer:
There is no short answer.
Explanation:
We are given an article that presents a study that suggests adults who played varsity sports in high school have a 20% higher chance of earning a bachelor's degree in college than the ones who did not play during high school.
The outcome variable in this example, which is also the same as a dependent variable, is the chance of graduating from college with a bachelor's degree, which depends on whether that person played varsity sports during their high school years or not.
The treatment variable in this example, which is also the same as an independent variable, is whether the subject played varsity sports in high school or not which affects their chances of graduating from college with a bachelor's degree.
Counterfactual means thinking about an event in a way that did not actually happen, counter to the facts and it helps people feel more in control which in turn provides a psychological soothing effect. Counterfactual scenario in the given example for high school athletes would be not being able to earn a bachelor's degree despite having played sports in high school.
Thinking about the counterfactual scenario is important because it helps people get a sense of power and a feeling of control which is a primal instinct the brain needs to feel safe.

If Jennifer has 400 dollar more than Brian has, if she gives Brian 20 % of her money she will have to giver Brian 80 dollars which comprises 20% of 400 dollars.
That is a simple calculation: 20/100 x 400 = 80
Question solved.
Bonds will be the least risky since there is no risk involved at all. Bonds give out guaranteed payments and A rated bonds will be even more secure.
The next would be property. Since property is a physical asset, the risk involved is relatively lower than stocks.
The next would be retirement plans which would typically have bonds and stocks.
The most risky would be speculative stocks.
The order from least risky to most risky would be:
1. A rated bonds
2. Property
3. Retirement plans
4. Speculative stocks
Answer:
X is $30,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the Amount ofLoan
Amount of Loan = Car price - Down payment = $100,848 - $30,000 = $70,848
This is the situation of annuity payment for 4 years at a 25% interest rate with equal annuity payment each year.
Now we will use the following formula to calculate the value of X
PV of Annuity = Annuity payment x ( 1 - ( 1 + interest rate )^-numbers of years ) / Interest rate
Where
PV of Annuity = Amount of Loan = $70,848
Interest rate = 25%
Numbers of years = 4 years
Annuity Payment = X = ?
Placing values in the formula
$70,848 = X x ( 1 - ( 1 + 25% )^-4 ) / 25%
$70,848 = X x 2.3616
X = $70,848 / 2.3616
X = $30,000
