Answer:
the answer is option D)<u>Equal sharing of the bill ensures that people order a similar dollar amount of food</u>
Explanation:
The theory of consumer behavior states that "consumers allocate incomes among different goods and services to maximize their utility"
Consumer behavior revolves around three parameters their preferences, budget constraints, and options available.
The budget constraint will definitely influence the choice of what to buy within the options available to maximize utility. That means how the bill is shared among the three friends will ultimately affect how much they will chose to eat.
Secondly, The vegetarian will not be better off with equal sharing of the bill because the cost of his food according to the data provided is less.
We don not know for sure if the wine drinker drinks too much or whether he will want his other friends to foot the extra bill from the cost of his wine but we are certain that equal sharing of the bill ensures that people order a similar dollar amount of food.
Answer:
True

I had this question on my test and got it right
Answer:
Explanation:
Experiments were performed for 240 people, 60 people test positive.
Step 1: we calculate the sample proportion; p= 60/240= 0.25.
Step 2: calculate the standard error for the sample, which is the square root of sample proportion,p = p(1-p)/n, n=100
0.25(1-0.25)/100
= 0.04.
Step 3: calculate the test statistics; assuming the hypothesis test percentage is 25%
Then, we say 0.25-1=0.75
-0.75/0.04
= -1.875.
In particular, the sample results are -1.875 standard error.
Probability of Z is less than -1.875.
Look up it value in the Z table
Answer:
a) If bribes cost $1,000 each, how much will a housing inspector make each year in bribes?
So, if the corrupt inspector approves two newly built structures each week, ti means that he is bribed twice per week. There are 52 weeks in a year, so he gets a total of 104 bribes (52 x 2). If each bribe costs $1,000, then he makes a total of: $1,000 x 104 = $104,000 in bribes per year.
c) Corrupt officials may have an incentive to reduce the provision of government services to help line their own pockets.
This statement is true. Corrupt officials will want to have private companies they can obtain bribes from provide government services. It increases the probability of them making money from bribes.
d) What if reducing the number of inspectors from 20 to 10 only increased the equilibrium bribe from $1,000 to $1,500?
Reducing the number of inspectors in hafl means that each inspector now gets twice the bribes. Because the equilibrium price did not double as did the quantity of bribes, each inspector will make less money than expected, but they will still the incentive to collect all the four bribes per week.
