Answer:
Imagine you have just flicked a lighter. If you don’t see the flame, you will naturally try a second time. If after the second attempt it does not strike a flame, you will repeat your action again and again until it does. Eventually, you’ll see the flame and you’ll know that your lighter works. But what if it doesn’t? How long are you going to flick the lighter until you decide to give up?
Our everyday life is full of such decision dilemmas and uncertainty. We constantly have to choose between options, whether we make the most ordinary decisions – should I continue flicking this lighter? – or life-changing choices – should I leave this relationship? We can either keep on doing what we are already used to do, or risk unexplored options that could turn out much more valuable.
Some people are naturally inclined to take more chances, while others prefer to hold on to what they know best. Yet being curious and explorative is fundamental for humans and animals to find out how best to harvest resources such as water, food or money. While looking at the Belém Tower – a symbol of Portugal’s great maritime discoveries – from my office window, I often wonder what drives people to explore the unknown and what goes on in their brains when weighing pros and cons for trying something new. To answer these questions, together with Dr. Zachary Mainen and his team of neuroscientists, we investigate how the brain deals with uncertainty when making decisions.
Explanation:
It is well known that the decision-making process results from communication between the prefrontal cortex (working memory) and hippocampus (long-term memory). However, there are other regions of the brain that play essential roles in making decisions, but their exact mechanisms of action still are unknown.

Answer:
Behavioral targeting
Explanation:
Behavioral targeting is an advertising technique that provides publishers and advertisers the opportunity to display relevant selling information and ads to users depending on the web-browsing behavior of the users.
Behavioral targeting mostly depends on data that are relevant to the behavior of user like items searched previously, last website visit date, pages viewed, amount of time used on a website, ads, content and buttons clicked, and among others.
Therefore, the tracking of online activity and delivery of ads based on that activity is called behavioral targeting.
Answer:
$926,073
Explanation:
Enterprise value=market capitalization+value of debt-cash
value of the firm=price-earnings ratio=11.8
earnings=net income
net income=profit margin*sales
net income=$697,000*6.8%=$47,396
11.8=market capitalization/$47,396
market capitalzation=11.8*$47,396=$559,272.80
enterprise value=$559,272.80+$408,000-$41,200=$ 926,072.80 (approx $926,073)
