Raphael is training for a triathlon, a timed race that combines swimming, biking, and running. Consider the following sentence:

Because his pool sessions are helping him swim more quickly, Raphael plans to reduce by 1 hour per week the time he spends training on the bike and increase by 1 hour the time he spends in the swimming pool; however, his wife says that he should stop doing any biking and running and spend all 20 hours per week in the pool. Which basic principle of individual choice does Raphael's plan illustrate that his wife's advice does not

Answer:

This is an example of marginal analysis, as the decisions made by Raphael are on margin.

Explanation:

The decision of Raphael about pool versus bike time is totally a "how-much decision". It is clear that pool time and bike time can both reduce the time for race. However, the efficiency of pool time is high currently, and hence there is much sense in trying to spend more time in the pool and less on bike. This however makes no sense that all the time is spent in the pool and no time biking. Raphael only intends to alter the number of hours spend on each activity at the margin.

Knowing whether a variable is categorical or quantitative will help us determine an appropriate visual display or testing proced
Leokris [45]

Answer and explanation:

First, let's understand the difference between categorical and quantitative variables. A quantitative variable can also be called a numerical variable. As this name suggests, it involves numbers. It can be measured numerically and be used in calculations - this is important, because not everything that has numbers is used in calculations; take the zip code as an example. On the other hand, a categorical variable cannot be expressed numerically in the same way described above. It is related to a certain quality or characteristic of something. For instance, you can attribute the number one to a person who is sick and the number two to a person who is not sick. The numbers are just a representation of the qualities; they won't be used in calculations. Now, we can safely judge the options given:

The price in dollars of statistics textbooks. --> quantitative

The working status of a computer part (working/not working). --> categorical

The gender of faculty in the mechanical engineering department. --> categorical

The number of miles until failure of a certain brand of tires. --> quantitative

The political party affiliation of students at OSU. --> categorical

The time to complete an exam. --> quantitative

The shirt sizes of a running club. --> categorical
