a. Increase the direct costs of the state's debt.
Explanation:
When a bond's rating is downgraded is a signal to the investors that investing in the bond now is riskier than it was prior to the rating downgrade, hence, a perceived higher risk using the risk/return relationship means that the bond issue would have to offer a higher return to entice the investors to invest in the bonds.

Answer:
The standard deviation of 75 dollars
Explanation:
Standard deviation, S.D.= 75 dollars; Mean, M= 225 dollars; Mean deviation, D= ?
S.D. = √ D² - M
∴ 75 = √ D² - 225
D² = 75² - 225 = 5625 + 225 = 5950
∴ D = √5950 = 24.4 dollars
From the above, it shows that, the standard deviation of 75 dollars contains the middle 95 percent of hourly sales.
