How much should a historian trust a confession extracted by torture?

History
1 answer:
Katena32 [7]2 years ago
4 0

A confession extracted by torture is always very tricky as to whether it should be trusted or not, so any historian should take this kind of confessions with reserve because it is always a 50-50 chance. Some of these confessions are true, but only in cases were the tortured one really knows the information and is not willing to give up on his/hers life by keeping it as a secret. On the other hand there a lots of confessions extracted by torture that don't correspond with the truth, but the tortured person admitted/told something that is not something he/she has done or really knows because they wanted to save their life (though very often it didn't really helped but was just used against them and as a propaganda).

The graph shows the price of green tea compared to the amount supplied by producers.
Kaylis [27]

<em>The correct answer is: 2. </em>Green tea is inelastic in terms of supply.

The elasticity of the supply of a product measures the variation experienced by the quantities of products supplied by the producers before variations in certain factors of production. In our case, the established factor is the market price of the goods to be produced (green tea), and is called the price elasticity of the offer.

The price elasticity of the supply of a product is calculated as the quotient between the differences in the quantity offered to the market by the producers and the differences in the market price of that product.

In this case, the price elasticity of green tea is 67%. The calculation is done as follows:

  <em> E (%) = (S2-S1) / (P2-P1) = (5-3) / (7-4) = 2/3 = 67% </em>

As this value is less than unity, it is said that the green tea is Inelastic in terms of supplies with respect to the market price.

This means that before increases in the price the quantities supplied by the producers increase in a smaller proportion.
