Answer:

Use the ceteris paribus assumption

Explanation:

By using the ceteris paribus assumption she can assume all other conditions are equal and that the number of books purchased by students and the price of the books are the only variables in the study

With the Latin phrase, ceteris paribus, meaning all other things are the same or other things considered as being equal or remain constant, it is possible to determine causation of an event by focusing on the effect of a one of the several independent variables on the dependent variable.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Ending inventory will be $108925

Explanation:

We have to find the estimated ending inventory

It is given by

Estimated ending inventory = Cost of Goods available for sale - Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of Goods available for sale = $155,000+$467,300 = $622,300

Cost of Goods Sold = Sales - Gross profit = 654500-\frac{654500\times 25}{100}=$513375

So ending inventory = $622300 - $513375 = $108925

So ending inventory will be $108925

Suppose that technological advancements stimulate $20 billion in additional investment spending. If the MPC = 0.6, how much will
grin007 [14]

Answer:

option (D) $50 billion.

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Additional investment spending = $20 billion

MPC = 0.6

Now,

Increase in aggregate demand = [1 ÷ (1 - mpc) ] × Investment

or

Increase in aggregate demand =  [1 ÷ (1 - 0.4) ] ×  $20 billion

or

Increase in aggregate demand = (1 ÷ 0.4) × $20 billion

or

Increase in aggregate demand = 2.5 × $20 billion

or

Increase in aggregate demand = $50 billion

Hence.

the correct answer is option (D) $50 billion.

The mean monthly bill for a sample of households in a city is $70, with a standard deviation of $8.
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

a) 39

b) 58

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Mean = $70

Standard deviation, s = $8

Number of households, n = 40

Now,

a) number of households whose monthly utility bills are between $54 and $86

z score for $54 = [ 54 - 70 ] ÷ 8                  [ z score = [ X - mean ] ÷ s]

or

z score for $54 = -2

z score for $86 = [ 86 - 70 ] ÷ 8                  [ z score = [ X - mean ] ÷ s]

or

z score for $54 = 2

Therefore,

P(between $54 and $86) = P(z = 2) - P(z = -2)

= 0.9772498 - 0.0227501

= 0.9544997

Therefore,

number of households whose monthly utility bills are between $54 and $86

= P(between $54 and $86)  × n

= 0.9544997 × 40

= 38.18 ≈ 39

b) In a sample of 20 additional house i.e n' = 40 + 20 = 60

thus,

number of households whose monthly utility bills are between $54 and $86

= P(between $54 and $86)  × n'

= 0.9544997 × 60

= 57.27 ≈ 58
