Answer:

A). The price of gasoline increased in coastal cities since gasoline was harder to find.

Explanation:

As per the principles of demand and supply, a decrease in supply while demand remains constant will cause the price to increase. In Georgia, the supply of gasoline was interrupted by the storm's effect. There was little gasoline coming in, leading to a shortage. After Electricity went off, gasoline demand must have gone high as people needed fuel for generators.

Gasoline has no close substitutes, especially when used as fuel for cars and generators. A shortage results in the scramble for the little available products. Sellers hike prices to maximize profits, and buyers are willing to pay more to get the scarce gasoline, thereby increasing its prices.

A bag contains 9 red marbles, 5 white marbles, and 6 blue marbles. You draw 4 marbles out at random, without replacement. Find t

IRINA_888 [86]

a) 0.0260

b) 0.0681

Explanation:

The bag contains:

r = 9 (number of red marbles)

w = 5 (number of white marbles)

b = 6 (number of blue marbles)

So, the total number of marbles in the bag at the beginning is:

$n=9+5+6=20$

At the 1st attempt, the probability of choosing a red marble is:

$p(r)=\frac{r}{n}=\frac{9}{20}$ (1)

At the 2nd attempt, the 1st red marble is not placed back, so now the number of marbles is (n-1), while the number of red marbles left is (r-1). So the probability of choosing another red marble at the 2nd attempt is

$p(r)=\frac{r-1}{n-1}=\frac{8}{19}$ (2)

With a similar argument, the probabilities of selecting a red marble in the 3rd and 4th attempt are

$p(r)=\frac{7}{18}$ (3)

$p(r)=\frac{6}{17}$ (4)

Therefore, the probability of drawing 4 red marbles in the first 4 attempts without replacing is:

$p(rrrr)=\frac{9}{20}\frac{8}{19}\frac{7}{18}\frac{6}{17}=\frac{3024}{116280}=0.0260$

At the 1st draw, the probability that the marble is not red is:

$p(r^c)=1-p(r)=1-\frac{9}{20}=\frac{11}{20}$

At the 2nd draw, there are 9 red marbles left and 19 total marble left. So, the probability of NOT drawing a red marble is:

$p(r^c)=1-\frac{9}{19}=\frac{10}{19}$

At the 3rd draw, there are 9 red marbles left and 18 total marbles left. So, the probability of NOT drawing a red marble is:

$p(r^c)=1-\frac{9}{18}=\frac{9}{18}$

Finally, with a similar argument the probability of NOT drawing a red marble at the 4th and last attempt is:

$p(r^c)=\frac{8}{17}$

So, the total probability of drawing 4 non-red marbles in the first 4 attempts is:

$p(r^cr^cr^cr^c)=\frac{11}{20}\frac{10}{19}\frac{9}{18}\frac{8}{17}=\frac{7920}{116,280}=0.0681$

Economist A says all of the following: The economy needs expansionary fiscal policy to remove it from a recessionary gap. Govern

lana [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

Government should either raise its expenditures or cut taxes. I believe the government spending multiplier is greater than the tax multiplier, so I favor this policy.

Explanation:

To begin with, an "expansionary fiscal policy" represents the tool that a government has in order to give response to a recessionary context in where the economy is falling down by decreasing its production. That is why, that in this type of policy the actions that are to be taken comprehends the reduction of taxes that the public sector collects from the private sector and also to increase the public expenditures that the government has with the purpose to estimulate the demand and offer of goods.

As the workforce becomes more diverse, why does performance appraisal become a more difficult process?

Olenka [21]

Answer:

Performance appraisal in a company with diverse workforce becomes difficult because of some cultural biases that may exist between the manager, who is doing the appraisal, and the diverse workforce. This problem becomes more acute if the manager is culturally biased and discriminatory by practise.

Explanation:

Company A can have a diverse workforce if it is made up of employees from culturally different places working together in the same workplace. Bias often arises due to human cultural nuisances. This becomes more obvious where managers are from some particular cultures while the employees are from mixed cultures. In such situations, the managers need to be retrained to enable them embrace cultural diversity in the workplace and in performance evaluation.
