Answer:

C. A decrease in the quantity demanded

Explanation:

Price Elasiticity

The law of demand and supply would usually hold that an increase in prices will result in a decrease in demand. Furthermore, an increase in demand generates a corresponding increasing in supply as well.

<u>When the demand of a product is sensitive to the changes in price, then we say that price of the product is elastic</u> but if the product demand not strongly influenced  by price then we say that the pricing is inelastic.

In the case of the lettuce, we can say that the price is elastic, because there is a sensitive reaction between an increase in price from $1 to $2 which immediately leads to a halfing of the quantity demanded. The price is elastic such that an increase in price leads to a decrease in quantity demanded.

Explanation:

A manufacturer of computer memory chips produces chips in lots of 1000. If nothing has gone wrong in the manufacturing process, at most 7 chips each lot would be defective, but if something does go wrong, there could be far more defective chips. If something goes wrong with a given lot, they discard the entire lot. It would be prohibitively expensive to test every chip in every lot, so they want to make the decision of whether or not to discard a given lot on the basis of the number of defective chips in a simple random sample. They decide they can afford to test 100 chips from each lot. You are hired as their statistician.

There is a tradeoff between the cost of eroneously discarding a good lot, and the cost of warranty claims if a bad lot is sold. The next few problems refer to this scenario.

Problem 8. (Continues previous problem.) A type I error occurs if (Q12)

Problem 9. (Continues previous problem.) A type II error occurs if (Q13)

Problem 10. (Continues previous problem.) Under the null hypothesis, the number of defective chips in a simple random sample of size 100 has a (Q14) distribution, with parameters (Q15)

Problem 11. (Continues previous problem.) To have a chance of at most 2% of discarding a lot given that the lot is good, the test should reject if the number of defectives in the sample of size 100 is greater than or equal to (Q16)

Problem 12. (Continues previous problem.) In that case, the chance of rejecting the lot if it really has 50 defective chips is (Q17)

Problem 13. (Continues previous problem.) In the long run, the fraction of lots with 7 defectives that will get discarded erroneously by this test is (Q18)

Problem 14. (Continues previous problem.) The smallest number of defectives in the lot for which this test has at least a 98% chance of correctly detecting that the lot was bad is (Q19)

(Continues previous problem.) Suppose that whether or not a lot is good is random, that the long-run fraction of lots that are good is 95%, and that whether each lot is good is independent of whether any other lot or lots are good. Assume that the sample drawn from a lot is independent of whether the lot is good or bad. To simplify the problem even more, assume that good lots contain exactly 7 defective chips, and that bad lots contain exactly 50 defective chips.

Problem 15. (Continues previous problem.) The number of lots the manufacturer has to produce to get one good lot that is not rejected by the test has a (Q20) distribution, with parameters (Q21)

Problem 16. (Continues previous problem.) The expected number of lots the manufacturer must make to get one good lot that is not rejected by the test is (Q22)

Problem 17. (Continues previous problem.) With this test and this mix of good and bad lots, among the lots that pass the test, the long-run fraction of lots that are actually bad is (Q23)

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Motor Proteins

Explanation:

According to my research on studies conducted by various biologists, I can say that based on the information provided within the question they seem to be missing Motor Proteins. These are motors that transport vesicles, thus converting chemical energy into work through the hydrolysis process that the ATP undergoes. Since they have the ATP and the Vesicles they would be able to accomplish the movement if they had the Motor Proteins.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

increase

Explanation:

Transaction cost is the cost needed for every exchange. This cost can be external or internal. External transaction cost comes from the cost to do an exchange with a second party while internal cost comes from the company itself.  

The Martinez Legal Firm acquired a competitor so their business size will increase for sure. Larger businesses will become more complex and need more management. These will, in turn, increase the internal transaction cost.

A stock is expected to return 8% in a normal economy, 12% if the economy booms, and lose 3% if the economy moves into a recessio
JulijaS [17]

Answer: 6.91%

Explanation:

Expected return = Sum of (Probability of state of economy * Return given state of economy)

= (56% * 8%) + (12% * 25%) + (19% * -3%)

= 4.48% + 3% - 0.57%

= 6.91%
