The price elasticities of demand of sugar-free gummy bears and of ordinary gummy bears is -0.8 and -2.3 respectively.

<h3>How to calculate price elasticity</h3>

Change in price of gummy bears = $2. 60 to $3

Elasticity of demand of sugar-free gummy bears =

[(273-379 / (273+379)/2] ÷ [(3.00-2.60)/(3.00+2.60) / 2]

= [-18/166] / [0.4/2.8]

= -0.10843373493975 / 0.14285714285714

= - 0.75903614457826

Approximately, -0.8

Elasticity of demand of regular gummy bears:

Sugar free = [(273-379) / (273+379)/2] ÷ (3.00 +2.60) / 2]

= [-106/326] / [0.4/2.8]

= -0.32515337423312 / 0.14285714285714

= -2.2760736196318

Approximately, -2.3

A chemist places a 100 g cube of each of the metals listed in the table on a separate hot plate. Based on the specific heat valu
Volgvan

The ranking of the metals in terms of how quickly they reach the target temperature are; Pb: 1, Sn: 2, Cu: 3, Fe: 4, Al: 5

Solving Specific Heat Capacity

The formula for quantity of heat from specific heat capacity is;

Q = m * C_s * ΔT

where;

Q is specific heat energy

C_s is specific heat capacity

ΔT is change in temperature

m is mass

Thus, the lower the specific heat or quantity of heat energy, the faster the change in temperature

Making ΔT the subject of the formula gives;

ΔT = Q / ( m * Cs)

We are told that the heat (Q) and mass (m = 100 g) are equal for the five samples. Thus, we have;

ΔT = [Q/m]/C_s

Since Q/m is constant for all the 5 samples, inputting the specific heat capacities means that the higher the specific heat capacity the slower the change in temperature but the lower the specific heat capacity, the quicker the change in temperature.

Solving online means that the fastest to slowest are;

Pb: 1, Sn: 2, Cu: 3, Fe: 4, Al: 5

Which of the indicators on the chart above tell(s) us that Australia and New Zealand are highly developed countries?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Answer: D

GDP per capita is a measure of a country's economic output that accounts for its number of people.

The unemployment rate is defined as the percentage of unemployed workers in the total labor force.

The infant mortality rate is the number of deaths under one year of age.

Given the above information, a country with a higher GDP would have a more stable economy aiding in growth. A lower unemployment rate would show a surplus of jobs indicating, once again, a steady and growing economy. Lastly, a lower infant mortality rate would show access to advanced medicine and a highly trained medical field. All three of these examples are indicators of a highly developed country.

Satya, nina, and iana each have a 3/4 chance of going to café georgia for an afternoon coffee at 1:00pm. Bohan will only go to c
larisa86 [58]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.9844 = 98.44% probability that bohan goes to café georgia for a coffee today.

For each friend, there are only two possible outcomes, either they go to the cafe, or they do not. The probability of a friend going to the cafe is independent of any other friend, hence, the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

  • There are 3 friends, hence n = 3.
  • They all go to the cafe with a 3/4 probability, hence p = 3/4 = 0.75.

The probability at least one goes is:

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

In which:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.75)^{0}.(0.25)^{3} = 0.0156

Then:

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0156 = 0.9844

0.9844 = 98.44% probability that bohan goes to café georgia for a coffee today.
