Answer: He did not identify a spurious relationship.

A spurious relationship is one where two variables are not causally connected to each other, but may be inferred that they are because of their simultaneous appearance and a similar behaviour. These two variables are only linked with each other by coincidence, or through a third variable.

In this case, the mayor assumes that the implementation of the new regulations caused the crime rate to go down, when in fact there is a third variable (weather) that was the true cause.

In other words, the mayor equated correlation with causation. This is a common mistake in economics due to the inability of economists to perform experiments, having to rely solely on statistical analysis. In order to be aware of this mistake, it is good to remember the motto "<u>correlation is not causation</u>."

The answer is concept flexibility. The change in views enters the schema after experiencing a different solution that may add to the understanding of things. Jarod displayed this after he discovered that his knowledge is not a fixed answer.

fenix001 [56]

Answer: B. If the market demand curve becomes more​ elastic, the​ firm's demand curve will become more elastic

Explanation:

Monopoly is a market structure whereby there is just one single supplier for a particular good or service. The monopolist controls the price.

We should note that the monopolist enjoys market power due to theofact that its product has an inelastic demand that is, a price change will have a minimal impact on the demand.

But the monopoly power will reduce in a case whereby the market demand curve becomes more​ elastic, then the firm's demand curve will become more elastic as well.
