Answer:

i don't know if the is correct or not but I'll give it a shot at answering. most vehicles are powered by gasoline (obviously) but we often refer to it as gas although it isn't even a gas. it's a liquid, but humans just like renaming things i guess. anywho gasolines state of matter is NOT a gas but we just shortend it to "gas."

Answer:

Sean can not either realize the bond as the loss as business bad debt or as a worthless security.

Explanation:

- Whether Sean can take the bond as the loss as business bad debt? Sean can't take the bond as the loss as business bad debt because the bond is a security whose value is dropping because of various risks such as market risks, credit risks. There is no certain information given the bonds are going to be default.

Suppose that an increase in the price of melons from $0.50 to $1.50 per pound increases the quantity of melons that melon farmer

zaharov [31]

Answer: elastic

Explanation:

The price elasticity of supply will be:

The percentage change in price will be:

= (1.50 - 0.50)/0.50 x 100

= 1.00/0.50 × 100

= 200

The percentage change in quantity will be:

= (4 -2)/2 x 100

= 2/2 × 100

= 100

Elasticity = % change in quantity/% Change in Price = 200/100 = 2

Since elasticity = 2, this indicates supply is elastic as it's greater than 1.

Which is cheaper: eating out or dining in? the mean cost of a flank steak, broccoli, and rice bought at the grocery store is $13

Daniel [21]

Answer:

$H_o: \mu \geq 13.04\\H_{\alpha}: \mu \geq 13.04$

b) 0.0751

c) We cannot afirm whether eating out or dinning in is cheaper

d) do not reject neither.

<u>Questions:</u>

(a). Develop appropriate hypotheses for a test to determine whether the sample data support the conclusion that the mean cost of a restaurant meal is less than fixing a comparable meal at home.

(b). Using the sample from the 100 restaurants, what is the p -value?

(c). At α = .05 ,what is your conclusion?

(d). Repeat the preceding hypothesis test using the critical value approach

Explanation:

(b)

$\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma \sqrt{n} } = P_v\\\frac{12.75-13.04}{2 \sqrt{100} } = -1.45$

We use excel function to get the Pz which is .0751

(c). 0.0751 > .05 , We cannot reject the hypotesis. Thus, we can neither say dinning in is more cheap nor eating out is cheaper.

(d). With = 99 , t .05 = −1.66 Reject H 0 if ? ≤ −1.66 −1.45 > −1.66 , do not reject

Degrees of freedom = n − 1 = 99 and Pz of 0.05 = -1.66

Reject when Pz < of -1.66

-1.45 > 1.66 threfore we cannot reject the hypotesis.
