Charlie's utility function is U(A, B) = AB, where A and B are the numbers of apples and bananas, respectively, that he consumes.

When Charlie is consuming 20 apples and 80 bananas, if we put apples on the horizontal axis and bananas on the vertical axis, the slope of his indifference curve at his current consumption is:____________a. -8.b. -1/4.c. -20.d. -4.e. -1/8.

Answer:

D. -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating the slope of his indifference curve at his current consumption is expressed as:

M = -∆y/∆x

∆y is the change in y axis

∆x is the change in x axis

Since apples are put in the horizontal axis, ∆x = 20

Since banana are on the y axis, then ∆y = 80

Substituting the given values into the formula

M = -80/20

M = -8/2

M = -4

Hence the slope of his indifference curve at his current consumption is -4.

Option D is correct.

What value of x would make the figure below a parallelogram? please show your work!​
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sum of all angles of a parallelogram is equal to 360 degrees, <Z + <Y is half of the parallelogram, and therefore <Z + <Y = 180 degrees.

16x-4 + 7x = 180, combine like terms

23x - 4 = 180, add 4 on both sides (isolate variable)

23x = 184, divide 23 on both sides

x = 8

Wen takes a job with a starting salary of $100,000 for the first year. she earns a 3% increase each year. what does s5 represent
steposvetlana [31]
S_{n} = \frac{ a_{1}(1- r^{n})  }{1-r} a_{1} = 100000, r=1.03, n=5
S_{5} = \frac{100000(1- 1.03^{5}) }{1-1.03} = \frac{100000(-.159)}{-.03} =530,000

So after 5 years she is making $530,000.

Hope that helps

Consider a value to be significantly low if its z score less than or equal to minus−2 or consider a value to be significantly hi
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

If the weight is higher than 5.8886 gr would be considered significantly high

If the weight is lower than 5.6121 gr would be considered significantly low

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(5.75241,0.06281)  

Where \mu=5.75241 and \sigma=0.06281

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

For the case when z =-2 we can do this:

-2 = \frac{X-5.75241}{0.06281}

And if we solve for X we got:

X = 5.75241 -2*0.06281 =5.6121

And for the other case when Z=2 we have:

2 = \frac{X-5.75241}{0.06281}

And if we solve for X we got:

X = 5.75241 +2*0.06281 =5.8886

If the weight is higher than 5.8886 gr would be considered significantly high

If the weight is lower than 5.6121 gr would be considered significantly low
