Answer:

consumption of tea will <u>increase</u> , and marginal utility of coffee will <u>increase</u>

Explanation:

As Consumer consumes both tea & coffee, they are substitutes goods (which can be inter change-ably used by consumer).

Substitute Goods' price & quantity are inversely related. Such because -

  • Price fall of a good makes it relatively cheaper & increases its quantity demanded, decreases other good's demand.
  • Price fall of a good makes it relatively expensive & decreases its quantity demanded, increases other good's demand

So: Tea & Coffee being substitutes - If price of coffee rise, its own quantity demanded decreases & tea demand increases.

Coffee quantity demanded decrease means Marginal Utility of coffee will increase, as - MU decreases with more consumption quantity & it increases with less quantity consumption [as per Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility].

Ruling out rival hypotheses, Findings consistent with several hypotheses require additional research to eliminate these hypotheses. More five principles of critical thinking are: (1.) Correlation vs. Causation, the fact that two things are associated with each other doesn’t mean that one causes the other. (2.) Replicability, a finding must be capable of being duplicated by independent researchers following the same recipe. (3.) Occam’s Razor, if two hypotheses explain a phenomenon equally well, we should generally select the simpler one. (4.) Falsifiability, claims must be capable of being disproved. (5.) Extraordinary Claims, the more a claim contradicts what we already know, the more persuasive the evidence must be before we should accept it.

why you think O'Brien keeps stepping out of the "story" to remind us things are or are not true - why this meta element?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Explanation:

As one more cubanito in the city, O'Brien played ball in the county parks, then attended Braddock Pre-University and, after a period at Bethune-Cookman University, returned to play at the University of Miami.

After several goals with the Major League Amateur Draft, O'Brien signed with the New York Yankees in 2012, where he would begin a pilgrimage to several Minor clubs - with two brief stays in Major Leagues - belonging to Arizona, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Texas, Los Angeles and Miami, as if it were your destination to always return.

And now O'Brien, 25, dreams of playing for the Marlins. The truth is that in less than a month its impact is palpable, and its history subjugated. Who knows what can happen if he keeps stacking home runs.
