GaryK [48]

Answer: A

Suppose that the last dollar that Victoria receives as income

brings her a marginal utility of 10 utils while the last dollar that

Fredrick receives as income brings him a marginal utility of

15 utils. If our goal is to maximize the combined total utility of

Victoria and Fredrick, we should

a. Redistribute income from Victoria to Frederick

b. Redistribute income from Fredrick to Victoria

c. Not engage in any redistribution because the current situation already maximizes total utility

d. None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

Marginal utility is the added satisfaction derived from consuming an additional unit of a good or service. In the above question, Fredrick derives more satisfaction from his last dollar than Victoria, and will therefore achieve a higher marginal utility with additional income than Victoria does with her current income. If we want to maximize the combined utility, we should redistribute income from Victoria to Fredrick.

The logic behind this is the diminishing marginal utility. The first unit of a good consumed gives the highest level of satisfaction, marginal utility reduces with additional units consumed. In the same way, when we spend our income, we purchase the things that give us the maximum satisfaction first.

Which polynomial function has a leading coefficient of 1 and roots (7 i) and (5 – i) with multiplicity 1? f(x) = (x 7)(x – i)(x

Nuetrik [128]

It looks like you might have intended to say the roots are 7 + i and 5 - i, judging by the extra space between 7 and i.

The simplest polynomial with these characteristics would be

$f(x) = (x - (7 + i)) (x - (5 - i))$

but seeing as each of the options appears to be a quartic polynomial, I suspect f(x) is also supposed to have only real coefficients. In that case, we need to pair up any complex root with its conjugate to "complete" f(x). We end up with

$f(x) = (x - (7 + i)) (x - (7 - i)) (x - (5 - i)) (x - (5 + i))$

which appears to most closely resemble the third option. Upon expanding, we see f(x) does indeed have real coefficients:

$f(x) = (x^2 - (7^2 - i^2)) (x^2 - (5^2 - i^2)) = (x^2 - 8) (x^2 - 6) = x^4 - 14x^2 + 48$

The concentration C (in mg/dl), of a certain antibiotic in a patient's bloodstream is given by C(t)=50 t /(t^2 + 25) where t is

marishachu [46]

Given that the concentration has been modeled by the formula:
C(t)=50t/(t^2+25)
where:
t is time in hours.
The concentration after 5 hours will be given by:
t= 5 hours
plugging the value in the equation we get:
C(5)=(50(5))/(5^2+25)
simplifying the above we get:
C(5)=250/(50)=5 mg/dl

Answer: 5 mg/dl

An intelligence test that has a maximum completion time of 45 minutes was recently administered to a group of 9 people. Their re

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

a) $\bar X=39.9$

b) Median =40

c) Bimodal distribution 40,45 with a frequency of 2 for each one

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

The statistical mean refers "to the mean or average that is used to derive the central tendency of the data in question. It is determined by adding all the data points in a population and then dividing the total by the number of points". And is defined:

$\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n}$

And for this case if we apply this formula we got:

$\bar X =\frac{45+40+42+39+44+40+45+33+21}{9}=39.9$

Part b

The median is a "measure of central tendency. To find the median, we arrange the observations in order from smallest to largest value. And we have two possible cases:

1) If there is an odd number of observations, the median is the middle value. 2) If there is an even number of observations, the median is the average of the two middle values."

So if we order the dataset we got:

31,33,39,40,40,42,44,45,45

Since we have an odd number of observation n=9, the median would be just the middle value on position 5 and for this case Median =40

Part c

The mode of a set of data values is the value that appears most often. As a set of data can have more than one mode, the mode does not necessarily indicate the centre of a data set.

For this case we have a bimodal distribution and the corresponding values are 40 and 45 with a frequency of 2 for each one.
