Carlos is a hard-working college senior. One Saturday, he decides to work nonstop until he has answered 100 practice problems fo

r his physics course. He starts work at 8:00 AM and uses a table to keep track of his progress throughout the day. He notices that as he gets tired, it takes him longer to solve each problem.
Time Total Problems Answered
8:00 AM 0
9:00 AM 40
10:00 AM 70
11:00 AM 90
Noon 100
Use the table to answer the following questions.

The marginal, or additional, gain from Carlos’s second hour of work, from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM, isproblems.

The marginal gain from Carlos’s fourth hour of work, from 11:00 AM to noon, isproblems.

Later, the teaching assistant in Carlos’s physics course gives him some advice. "Based on past experience," the teaching assistant says, "working on 25 problems raises a student’s exam score by about the same amount as reading the textbook for 1 hour." For simplicity, assume students always cover the same number of pages during each hour they spend reading.

Given this information, in order to use his 4 hours of study time to get the best exam score possible, how many hours should he have spent working on problems, and how many should he have spent reading?

a. 1 hour working on problems, 3 hours reading
b. 2 hours working on problems, 2 hours reading
c. 3 hours working on problems, 1 hour reading
d. 4 hours working on problems, 0 hours reading

The difference between a divine command view and authoritarian view is that the authority figure is different. true or false?
taurus [48]

The difference between a divine command view and authoritarian view is that the authority figure is different-Yes the statement holds true

Explanation:

<u>In a Divine Command of View</u>

we often come across statement like -"I would do what God or the scriptures say is right'

As per this point of view the  right and wrong are determined by a supernatural supreme being, whose will we discern from sacred texts and divinely inspired messengers.

<u>Authoritarian View</u>

An example of Authoritarian view is sentence like " I would follow the advise of an authority"

According to this view  the  right and wrong is decided by the authorities.The power of taking decision rest in the hands of a particular authority.

Downside of this view is that : authorities do not always reflect wisdom and not all authorities agree.

As you can see that the difference between the two view point is the authority figure.So the answer is True

A​ check-processing center uses exponential smoothing to forecast the number of incoming checks each month. The number of checks
Liula [17]

Answer:

a. 41.6 million

b. 42.28 million

Explanation:

A) GIven

forecast in june = Sjune = 42 million

Checks recived in june = Xjune = 40 million

Smoothing constant = a = 0.2

So for july

Sjuly = a*Xjune + (1-a)*Sjune

=0.2*40 + (1-0.2)*42 million

=8+33.6 = 41.6 million

B) forecast in july = Sjuly = 41.6 million

Checks recived in july = Xjuly = 45 million

Smoothing constant = a = 0.2

So for August

Saugust = a*Xjuly + (1-a)*Sjuly

=0.2*45 + (1-0.2)*41.6 million

=9+33.28 = 42.28 million

<em>Note: This uses an exponential smoothing to forecast the results, but from the number of checks recived we see that it increases linearly. So we need a linear forecasting method .</em>
