Answer:

C) cluster analysis

Explanation:

Regression analysis. The regression analysis determines the relationship between the two variables. Thus, one of these quantities (X) is given in advance(dependent) and is not random. The second value (U) is the independent and random number. The randomness of the second quantity can be explained for two reasons. First: Measuring the random number U, which depends on the number X, is associated with certain errors; second: The value of U may depend on other uncontrollable factors, in addition to being dependent on the value of the corresponding X value. In this case, we need to talk about the distribution of the random variable U against each value of the X variable. The main purpose of the regression analysis is to build a mathematical model that takes into account the factors affecting the physical process using experimental data and evaluating its accuracy. The least squares method is used for statistical estimation of the mathematical model's suitability to experimental data.

Discriminant analysis is a method used in statistics, pattern recognition, and machine learning to find a linear combination of attributes that define or distinguish two or more classes or events. The resulting combination can be used as a linear classifier or more often to reduce the size before classifying. LDA is closely related to variance analysis (ANOVA) and regression analysis, which try to express a dependent variable as a linear combination of other properties or dimensions. However, while variance analysis uses qualitative independent variables and a continuous dependent variable, discriminant analysis has continuous independent variables and a qualitative dependent variable.

Cluster analysis or clustering is a problem of grouping a number of objects. In this problem, objects must be in some way more similar to those in other groups to accommodate the same clusters (clusters). One of the main problems with data transmission is a common technique used in statistical data analysis. It is also used in machine learning, pattern recognition, image analysis, data retrieval, bioinformatics, data compression and computer graphics.

One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to calculate the significance of the difference between three and more independent means in a normally distributed series. ANOVA compares the arithmetic means of three or more groups alone; ANOVA result is also significant when at least one of these comparisons is significant. To measure the significance it will have the relation to the regression analysis that's why there will be dependent and independent variables as well.

Answer:

Cluster analysis does not require the use of dependent and independent variable.

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

Regression measures the relationship between two or more variables. It examines the relationship between dependent and independent variable.

Discriminant analysis is a technique used by researchers to measure the relationship between the dependent variable and one or more in dependent variables.

Cluster analysis is a technique that is used for exploratory research. It does not involve the use of dependent and independent variable.

Analysis of variance is used for measuring the influence that independent variable has on the dependent variable in regression analysis.

Producer surplus directly measures a. the well-being of buyers and sellers. b. the well-being of society as a whole. c. the well

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

c. the well-being of sellers.

Explanation:

A surplus is the amount by which the quantity supplied of a good exceeds the quantity demanded of the good.

Producer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the cost of producing the good.

On the other hand, consumer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the amount the buyer actually pays for it.

Hence, an export subsidy will increase producer surplus.

In conclusion, producer surplus directly measures the well-being of sellers.

Suppose the company that owns the vending machines on your campus has doubled the price of a can of soda. if they then still sel

Ierofanga [76]

The answer would be that there are few other places to purchase soda on campus; competition (or lack thereof) can play a big factor in determining price elasticity.

While nutrition information can shift consumers' preferences, we have no indication within the question of whether or not the students are well-informed of the impact of their drinking choices.

As for the third option, we are not given any information on the students' budgets, and no information with which to infer this, either. We only have information on their spending as it is related to soda, not as compared to other purchases.

Finally, given that the quantity sold does not change much despite the change in price, we can conclude that this price curve is relatively inelastic, in which case the price elasticity of demand would be closer to zero than one. This effectively rules out the last answer.

Dwight Donovan, the president of Benson Enterprises, is considering two investment opportunities. Because of limited resources,

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

- Net present value of each project:

Project A:$37,193

Project B:$4,629

=> Project A should be chosen based on NPV approach as its NPV is higher.

- Internal rate of return of each project:

Project A: 20%

Project B: 12%

=>Project A should be chosen based on IRR approach as its IRR is higher

Explanation:

- Net present value calculation:

NPV for Project A: -111,000 + (37,116/0.08) x [1-1.08^(-5)] = $37,193

NPV for Project B: -43,000 + (11,929/0.08) x [1-1.08^(-5)] = $4,629.

- Internal rate of return approach;

IRR is the discount rate that bring NPV of project's cash flows to 0. Thus:

IRR for project A: -111,000 + (37,116/IRR) x [1-(1+IRR)^(-5)] = 0 <=> IRR = 20%

IRR for project B: -43,000 + (11,929/IRR) x [1-(1+IRR)^(-5)] = 0 <=> IRR = 12%
