The following week, Amaia's informatics faculty advisor gives her some advice. In all their years of teaching they claim to observe that working on 75 multiple choice questions boosts a student's test score by about the same amount as spending an hour reviewing lecture notes. For simplicity, assume students are able to review lecture notes at a constant pace during each hour spent studying. Given this information, in order to use her 4 hours of time spent studying to get the highest possible test score, how many hours should she have spent solving multiple choice problems, and how many hours should she have spent reviewing lecture notes?

xt:Bong-Cha is deciding what to do during the 30-minute break between her college classes. One rule she could follow is, "Choose the activity with the highest value" (A). Another rule she could follow is, "Choose the activity with the lowest opportunity cost" (B). Do you think Bong-Cha's choice if she follows rule (A) will be the same as the choice she would make if she followed rule (B)? [another way to think about it, "Is rule (A) identical to rule (B) in a sense that they would both induce the same choice?"].
Southwest Airlines is able to keep fares low, in part because of relatively low maintenance costs on its airplanes. One of the main reasons for the low maintenance costs is that Southwest flies only one type of aircraft, the Boeing 737. However, Southwest flies three different versions of the 737. Suppose Southwest decides to conduct a study to determine whether there is a significant difference in the average annual maintenance costs for the three types of 737s used. a. State an independent variable for such a study. b. What are some of the levels or classifications that might be studied under this variable? c. Give a dependent variable for this study.
What is the difference between univariate and multivariate analysis? Give an example for when a univariate analysis might be used and an example of when we use multivariate analysis.
Population of Fish in a Lake A lake is stocked with 100 fish. Let f(1) be the number of fish after i months, and suppose that y = f(1) satisfies the differential equation y' = .0004y(1000 – y). Figure 7 shows the graph of the solu- tion to this differential equation. The graph is asymptotic to the line y = 1000, the maximum number of fish that the lake can support. How fast is the fish population growing when it reaches one-half of its maximum population? 1000 800 600 400 200 10 15 Figure 7 Growth of a fish population.
ADVERSE SELECTIONSomet Health Insurance Company wants to sell a health insurance product for $700 permonth. There is no requirement for healthy people to have insurance coverage. Thecompany conducts a survey to see how different populations respond to the proposed cost.People with no illnesses and disabilities, generally the young and healthy, respond that theydo not spend $700 on healthcare in an entire year, and most feel they would not waste somuch money on premiums when the chance of needing surgery or expensive healthcaretreatments is so small. However, older, sicker people think that $700 per month is a greatdeal, as most of them spend far in excess of this amount on healthcare. It seems like agreat deal for them. What will happen to the costs of the health insurance if only the older, sicker peopleenroll?

P Question 12 The equation for the 1.5 mile run/jog test is: VO,max (mi/kg/min) = 3.5 + [483 + (time in min.)] Jackson runs the 1.5 miles in 9 minutes. What information is obtained from this equation? O Jackson's VO2 max is 57.2ml/kg/min O Jackson's average VO2 running at a 6 minute mile pace is 57.2ml/kg/min O Jackson burns 30 calories per minute at thsi pace O Jackson's absolute VO2 is 57.2ml/kg/min

A justification for job training programs is that they improve worker productivity. Suppose that you are asked to evaluate whethe r more job training makes workers more productive. However, rather than having data on individual workers, you have access to data on manufacturing firms in Ohio. In particular, for each firm, you have information on hours of job training per worker (training) and number of nondefective items produced per worker hour (output).(iv) If you find a positive correlation between output and training, would you have convincingly established that job training makes workers more productive? Explain.

The goal of the consumer is to maximize the total utility or satisfaction derived from their purchase choices, given the unique budget constraint. To calculate total utility of a given combination of T- shirts and movies, one would use the following approach: Group of answer choices Use utils as a measure of utility, assigning a specific number to T-shirts and movies, and then add those together. For a given combination of T-shirts and movies, survey a group of individuals to determine an average for utils to be assigned to the number of T-shirts and movies. For a given combination of T-shirts and movies, assign a number of utils to that combination. For a given combination of T-shirts and movies, use Google to identify the number of utils associated with the number of T-shirts and movies and then sum them.
