Given the information above, sketch Mike’s budget line on the graph below. [pic] QUESTION 3 (1000 points) a) State four (4) properties of indifference curves that can be derived based on the three (3) main assumptions of preferences (EXCLUDE the property that indifference curves cannot cross). (400 points) i) Indifference Curves are Negatively Sloped – The IC slopes downward because as the consumption of Good X increases then a certain amount Good Y must be given up to maintain the same level of satisfaction. ii) A Higher Indifference Curve Represents A Higher Level Of Satisfaction – A combination of Goods lying on a higher indifference curve will be preferred by a consumer to a combination of goods that lie on a lower indifference curve. iii) Indifference Curves Are Convex To The Origin – As the amount of Good X increases by equal amounts, Good Y will reduce by smaller amounts.
The smallest relative difference that is not statistically significant is stress management at -0.63. The reason that this ratio is not statistically significant is because the value used to determine significance was lower than 0.05. The smaller t ratio has an increased p value and the odds of being able to reject the null hypothesis are diminished. This result means
Portland Trail Blazers Case Brief Attribute Importance: Based on the conjoint analysis for importance of attributes as shown in Exhibit 1, Ticket Location has the highest importance with a 39.49% of the overall decision weight. Ticket Price comes next with 37.58% of the overall decision weight followed by Promotion Strategy. Number of Games is the least important of all the attributes. Analysis: A list of all package combinations yields a total of 240 different combinations of packages. But we know that Blazers management disallows certain packages namely 200-level seats for less than $60 and 300-level, midcourt seats for less than $25.

John Johnson Eng 102 Professor Mackey 11/24/09 The New Billion Dollar Crop Hemp is a very industrially diverse crop that is commonly confused with the illegal narcotic, marijuana. The main difference between marijuana and hemp is the amount of THC in the plants. Marijuana contains anywhere between 3-20% THC, while hemp contains less than 1%(Roulac 6). What that means is that you could smoke all the hemp cigarettes you wanted and all you would feel is a bad headache. Unlike marijuana, hemp has the potential to be very useful to the U.S. industry.

In Germany America’s economic failure contributed to the rise of Adolf Hiltler, so the Stock Market Crash had a domino effect on our country and others. In America there were 16 million unemployed, which was about one third of the available labor force (Livingston1). There was some companies that faired well through-out this gloom; Camel Cigarettes was the top selling tobacco product. The reasoning for that is people were stressed out and felt that cigarettes relived
Animal Species: Procoptodon goliah The Pleistocene kangaroo Procoptodon goliah, the most extreme of the short-faced kangaroos, was the largest and most heavily built kangaroo known. It had an unusually short, flat face and forwardly-directed eyes, with a single large toe on each foot (reduced from the more normal count of four). Each hand had two long, clawed fingers that would have been used to bring leafy branches within reach. Identification The heavily built Procoptodon goliah was the most extreme of the sthenurines, or short-faced kangaroos. It had a very short, deep 'brachycephalic' skull and lower jaw, and eyes that were partly forward-facing (giving it a primate-like appearance).
Refer to figure ten, the white pine (Ps) was dominant 100 years ago rather then the hemlock (Ts) and black birch (Bl) which are dominant now. And the only two species in the understory were exclusively hemlock and beech (Fg), rather then having a more diverse population of species as we have now of beech, red oak (Qr), red maple (Ar), White pine, sugar maple (As), Yellow birch (Ba) and hophornbeam (Ov). The rest of the species were either not present or at very low quantities, such as the white ash (Fa) is now. 6. As discussed
