Answer:

A

Explanation:

To calculate the adult population, we simply make use of the data available from the BLS.

We can simply make the calculations by adding the number of employed Adult Americans to the number of unemployed adult Americans.

We simply do not have any business with the number not in labor force because they are actually part of those that are employed but are not just in the labor force.

The adult population is thus:

143,929,000 + 11,460,000 =155,389,000

butalik [34]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Consumer income is one of the main determinant of demand. Consumer income is related with the demand of normal and inferior good.

If there is an increase in the income of a consumer then as a result the demand for a normal good increases and shifts the demand curve rightwards.

If there is a fall in the income of the consumer then as a result the demand for a normal good also decreases and shifts the demand curve leftwards.

Alternatively, the consumer income is inversely related with the demand for inferior goods.

If the monthly income of the IBM employees follows a SYMMETRICAL NORMAL distribution, with a median of $5000 and a standard devi
AURORKA [14]

Answer:  mean monthly income = $5000

====================================================

Explanation

In any normal distribution, the median and mean are the same value.

-------------

The proof is as follows:

If mean > median was the case, then the distribution would be skewed to the right (ie positively skewed). The right tail is pulled longer than the left tail. But this would contradict the symmetrical nature of the normal distribution. So mean > median must not be the case.

If mean < median, then the distribution would be skewed to the left (negatively skewed). Visually this pulls the left tail longer than the right tail. Like in the previous paragraph, this contradicts the symmetrical nature of the normal distribution. So mean < median must not be the case.

Since mean > median cannot be true, and neither can mean < median, this must indicate mean = median.

-------------

So in short, any symmetrical distribution always has mean = median and they are at the very center of the distribution.

Grace [21]

Answer:

B. Holly's statement is normative, but Ben's is positive.

Explanation:

Positive statements are based on objective deduction of what is, or was. It is based on facts. Ben's comment "an increase in the tax on beer will raise its price", is an example of positive statement.

Normative statements are subjective and based on individual values and judgement. In her statement Holly appears to be biased against drinking much. She says "taxes should be increased on beer because college students drink too much." Is a normative statement.

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

A. Lead to local but not global or strategic improvements if they are not linked to strategy.

Explanation:

A key performance indicator card is a technique or rather methodology used in assessing the status of a measure by comparing key indicators to target. It is a performance card that identifies the main objective and gives a well structured view of the organization. It can lead to both local and strategic improvements if they are linked to strategy.
