Answer/Explanation:
Statistics educators often talk about their desired learning goals for students, and invariably, refer to outcomes such as being statistically literate, thinking statistically, and using good statistical reasoning. Despite the frequent reference to these outcomes and terms, there have been no agreed upon definitions or distinctions. Therefore, the following definitions were proposed by Garfield (2005 and have been elaborated in Garfield and Ben-Zvi (2008).
Statistical literacy is regarded as a key ability expected of citizens in information-laden societies, and is often touted as an expected outcome of schooling and as a necessary component of adults’ numeracy and literacy. Statistical literacy involves understanding and using the basic language and tools of statistics: knowing what basic statistical terms mean, understanding the use of simple statistical symbols, and recognizing and being able to interpret different representations of data (Garfield 1999; Rumsey 2002; Snell 1999)
Answer:
C. The government guarantees that potato farmers will receive at least $50 a ton.
Explanation:
Price floor is implemented by the government or a group where price control is imposed or limit is placed on how low a price a product can be sold.
For price floor to be effective it must be higher than the equillibrum price.
Equillibrum price is the price at which quantity consumers are willing to pay for is equal to quantity suppliers re willing to sell.
Price floors are usually used to keep commodity prices from going too low.
So if the government guarantees farmers will receive at least $50 per ton of potato, they are setting a price floor of $50.
Answer:
Explanation:
A heart transplant is a surgical procedure that replaces the person’s heart with a donor heart. A person may require a heart transplant for several reasons including congenital, arterial and muscle diseases or for unforeseen reasons such as accidents or viral infections.
The donor heart is matched to the recipient by blood type. More variables are also used to decide which recipient receives a heart if there are not enough hearts available for all recipients waiting for a transplant. The variables included in the decision may include the recipient state of health, cause of the heart condition and the urgency of the transplant.
The main goal of this project is for you to write a matching function that receives as a parameter the number of available hearts for transplant and will output all the recipients ranked in order of precedence.
