Answer:

Maximum value of total revenue = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Express this Demand Curve in terms of Q.

P = 24 - 8Q (it is the same equation)

Find P, if Q=2

P= 24-8(2)

P=24-16

P=8

Find Q if P = 8.

P = 24 - 8Q

8= 24 - 8Q

8Q= 24-8

8Q=16

Q=16/8

Q=2

Total revenue in terms of Q

Total revenue is P times Q, that is

P*Q=TR=(24-8Q)*Q

TR=24Q-8Q^2

$TR=24Q-8Q^{2} \\\\$

Marginal Revenue

It is the first derivative of TR

TR'(Q)= 24-16Q

Find the values of P and Q that will maximize total revenue.

To find them first TR'(Q)=0, that is

0=24-16Q

16Q=24

Q=24/16

Q=3/2

Q=1.5

and we plug in 1.5 in P=24-8Q, which is,

P=24-8Q

P=24-8(1,5)

P=24-12

P=12

Calculate this maximum value of total revenue

P=12 Q=1.5

P*Q=Total Revenue

12*1.5=Total Revenue

18=Total Revenue

A study investigated the effectiveness of meditation training in reducing trait anxiety. The study evaluated subjects trait anxi

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean reduction in anxiety was (1.2, 8.6).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 27 - 1 = 26

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 26 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995$ . So we have T = 2.7787.

The margin of error is:

$M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.7787\frac{6.9}{\sqrt{27}} = 3.7$

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 4.9 - 3.7 = 1.2.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 4.9 + 3.7 = 8.6.

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean reduction in anxiety was (1.2, 8.6).

Can someone explain thermal energy in ur own words pls, pls help will give brainliest.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Thermal energy refers to several distinct physical concepts, such as the internal energy of a system; heat or sensible heat, which are defined as types of energy transfer; or for the characteristic energy of a degree of freedom in a thermal system kT, where T is temperature and k is the Boltzmann constant.
