Answer: Ana should produce more fudge, and Leo should produce more toffee.

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparative advantage defined: A person or country has a comparative advantage producing a good if their opportunity cost for it is lower than someone else's.

In this case, Ana and Leo will both benefit if they focus on the product for which they have the lower opportunity cost.

(a) Ana’s production possibilities:

If she spends all her time making fudge: 3 pounds; or toffee: 2 pounds.

Opportunity cost of 1 pound fudge = 2/3 = 0.66 pounds toffee

Opportunity cost of 1 pound toffee = 3/2 = 1.5 pounds fudge

(b) Leo’s production opportunities:

All time making fudge: 4 pounds; or toffee: 5 pounds.

Opportunity cost of 1 pound fudge = 5/4 = 1.25 pounds toffee

Opportunity cost of 1 pound toffee = 4/5 = 0.8 pounds fudge

Since Ana’s opportunity cost for fudge is lower than Leo’s, she should specialize in fudge production.

Conversely, Leo has a lower opportunity cost for toffee, so he should focus on producing toffee.

zzz [12365]

The correct answer is:

She can ascertain that while there exists an association between the variables, a correlation does not exist, and causation cannot be established.

Explanation:

Due to the arch shape of her graph, it indicates that as one variable varies, the other also changes. This indicates an association exists between these variables.

Nonetheless, given that the graph does not follow a linear pattern, no correlation can be claimed. As there is no correlation, causation cannot be determined.

zzz [12365]

Answer:

The solution to this problem indicates that Hernry invested $18,000 in stocks and $6,000 in bonds.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to multiply 6 by 3. The outcome is 18, meaning it is three times higher than the bond amount. Next, subtract $24,000 from $18,000, which gives you $6,000, representing the bond investment. Hence, it is three times less than the stocks as the question describes.

Suppose that a student is randomly selected from a large high school. The probability that the student is a senior is 0.22. The
lawyer [12517]

Answer: La probabilidad que necesitamos es 0.16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Se nos proporciona que

La probabilidad de que el estudiante sea un senior = 0.22

La probabilidad de que el estudiante tenga una licencia de conducir = 0.30

La probabilidad de que el estudiante sea un senior o tenga una licencia de conducir = 0.36

Buscamos la probabilidad de que el estudiante sea un senior y tenga licencia de conducir.

Según la pregunta,

P(S\cap D)=P(S)+P(D)-P(S\cup D)\\\\P(S\cap D)=0.22+0.30-0.36\\\\P(S\cap D)=0.16

Por lo tanto, la probabilidad que necesitamos es 0.16.
