Answer:

$0.68

Explanation:

Multiply each possible prize by its likelihood and add the results in order to obtain the expected value (Note that there is a 100% of losing 0.57 cents since that is the cost of entry):

EV = 5200*\frac{1}{8900} +2500*\frac{1}{6400} +900*\frac{1}{3900}+100*\frac{1}{2100} -0.57*1\\EV= \$0.68

The expected value of the amount won for one entry if the cost of entering is 57 cents is $0.68

Warehouse W’s revenue from the sale of sofas was what percent greater this year than it was last year? (1) Warehouse W sold 10 p
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

1) 10%

2) Depends on the selling price

Please see the attachment  

Explanation:

We have 2 scenarios. In both cases we have to calculate the income as the product of the selling price by the units sold, and then we must calculate the increasing percentage to compare the actual value with the last year value.

Let's see the attachment and consider that:

P is the selling price of the sofas

x is the units sold  

So, the income is the result of the selling price, by the units sold, respectively for each year. Then, the increase is the ratio between the actual year income minus last year income, over last year income. Finally, the increase percentage is the result of multiplying the increase value, by 100.

We can conclude that for the first scenario, the selling increase percentage is 10%, meanwhile, for the second scenario, the selling increase percentage depends on the selling price; that means, the higher the selling price, the increase percentage will be lower, but anyway, there will be increase.

20. Which of the following is not a difference between monopolies and perfectly competitive markets? a. Monopolies can earn prof
Naily [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive market has a large number of buyers and sellers. The firms are price takers and the price is determined by the market forces. Thus the monopoly firms face a horizontal demand curve. This horizontal line represents price, average revenue, and marginal revenue. The equilibrium is obtained where price, (average revenue and marginal revenue) is equal to marginal cost. There is no restriction on entry and exit of firms in the long run. That's why firms face a break-even in the long run.  

While in a monopoly market there is a single firm. This firm fixes price higher than marginal cost. The demand curve of the monopoly is a downward sloping showing relatively elastic demand. A monopoly firm can earn profits in both the short run as well as the long run.

erica [24]

Answer:

he was discriminated solely based on his sexual orientation.

Explanation:

The Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 stated that all employers in united states are prohibited to discriminate their employees based on race, religion, gender, national origin, and sexual orientation.

You do not need to be married for your sexual orientation to be acknowledged by the The Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964  . You just need to proof that any of the factors above are the reason why you're discriminated against.

In Qiang case, he could tried to find witness by talking to other employees or find a recorded email/messages that indicates his boss mistreatment toward him. If there are enough employees who came out as witnesses, he could build a strong enough case to gain support in the court.
