Answer:

b. Null hypothesis :\mu \leq 40000

Alternative hypothesis: \mu >40000

Explanation:

A hypothesis is defined as "a speculation or theory based on insufficient evidence that lends itself to further testing and experimentation. With further testing, a hypothesis can usually be proven true or false".  

The null hypothesis is defined as "a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is trying to disprove".

The alternative hypothesis is "just the inverse, or opposite, of the null hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that researcher is trying to prove".

On this case the Management try to proof that due to a new production process, the life expectancy of its tires has increased. So this needs to be on the alternative hypothesis. And the complement of the alternative hypothesis would be on the null hypothesis.

Null hypothesis :\mu \leq 40000

Alternative hypothesis: \mu >40000

Other important thing is that on the alternative hypothesis we never can have the symbol equal.

Based on this the best option on this case is b.

"According to a prisoner's dilemma scenario, when individuals have no way of communicating, which choice benefits each of them t
n200080 [17]

Answer:

cooperation

Explanation:

the prisoners dilemma illustrates the benefits of cooperation between parties who have their different self interests. It shows that even though people might want to take care of their self interests first as this is only sure way of guaranteeing their success, cooperation would benefit them better. The prisoners dilemma makes use of a payoff matrix in determining the best plan of action for two prisoners to take in situations where each prisoner isn't In communication with the other and is asked to confess(implicate the other) to get reduced sentence or stay mute. The payoff matrix shows that prisoners by staying mute and cooperating with each other get the lowest sentence and it benefits them mutually. Businesses and large organizations employ prisoner's dilemma in making decisions such as ones that concern competition.

Alexeev081 [22]

<u>Silos</u> refer to a functional or divisional unit that operates by its own rules and guidelines and does not openly share information with other units.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A silo mindset is a refusal to exchange information with workers in the same organization from different divisions. This approach is seen as raising the productivity of the corporation and, at worst, leading to a distorted culture of the company.

A common reason of workplace silos is a failure to understand about how a single department or team integrates into the larger picture, which leads the team's executive or leader to concentrate on what we can refer to as local goals vs. company goals.
