Answer: 0.001731

Explanation:

To solve the variance, we have to calculate the mean first. This will be the addition of the sticks given which is then divided by 5. This will be:

= (0.084 + 0.087 + 0.032 + 0.015 + 0.115) / 5

= 0.0666

We then calculate the variance as shown below:

Variance = [(0.084 - 0.0666)² + (0.087 - 0.0666)² + (0.032 - 0.0666)² + (0.015 - 0.0666)² + (0.115 - 0.0666)²] / 5 - 1

= [0.000303 + 0.000416 + 0.001197 + 0.002663 + 0.002343] / 4

Variance = 0.001731

What is scarcity, as a term used in economics? What is an every day example of scarcity that demonstrates why scarcity is a basi
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Scarcity refers to the basic economic problem, the gap between limited – that is, scarce – resources and theoretically limitless wants. ... Any resource that has a non-zero cost to consume is scarce to some degree, but what matters in practice is relative scarcity

Scarcity dictates that economic decisions must be made regularly in order to manage the availability of resources to meet human needs. Some examples of scarcity include: The gasoline shortage in the 1970's. ... Coal is used to create energy; the limited amount of this resource that can be mined is an example of scarcity.

Interest revenue from the CD 470.04

Explanation:

we will calcualte the future value of the CD and from there calculate the interest:

Principal \: (1+ r)^{time} = Amount

Principal 2,200.00

time 8.00 (2 years x 4 quarter per year)

rate 0.02450 (9.8% divided by 4 quarter per year)

This divisions and multiplication are done to make time and rate be express i nthe same metric.

2200 \: (1+ 0.0245)^{8} = Amount

Amount 2,670.04

Now, we calculate interest revenue:

Amount - Principal

2,670.04 - 2,200 = 470.04

Vincent operates a scenic tour business in Boston. He has one bus which can fit 50 people per tour and each tour lasts 2 hours.
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

There is some information missing, and when I looked for it I found similar questions but the demand was already given and the question was about Vincent's total daily income.

Passenger                  Price                  Daily demand

Adults                          $18                        70

Children                      $10                        25

Senior citizens            $12                        55

total                                                           150

total revenue per day = ($18 x 70) + ($10 x 25) + ($12 x 55) = $1,260 + $250 + $660 = $2,170

total operating costs per day = (150 / 50) x $450 = $1,350

operating income per day = $2,170 - $1,350 = $820
