Answer:

-4 units

Explanation:

Applying the midpoint method, Blake's income elasticity of demand for generic potato chips is determined by multiplying the change in demand (D) by his average income (I), then dividing by the product of the change in income and average demand:

E=\frac{\Delta D}{\Delta I}*\frac{I_{avg}}{D_avg}\\E=\frac{0-2}{15-9}*\frac{\frac{9+15}{2}}{\frac{2+0}{2} }\\E=-4\ units

Thus, Blake's income elasticity of demand equals -4 units.

Scilla [3245]

Answer: Nominal

Explanation:

The use of the Nominal measurement scale indicates that data is categorized into specific names or labels, which is the reason it is sometimes called Named data. For example, organizing dogs in a park by their breed such as Husky, American Bull, German Shepherd, etc.

This measurement scale does not involve numerical values and typically lacks any hierarchical arrangement.

In this case, the professor categorized her students based on their majors, with those majors serving as labels. Thus, she applied the Nominal measurement scale.
