Recall the Application​ "Smoking, Drinking, and​ Elasticity." If the number of highway deaths among young people is roughly prop

ortional to their beer consumption and young​ peoples' elasticity of demand for beer is​ 1.5, then to decrease highway deaths of young people by 15​ percent, taxes would need to be increased enough to increase the price of beer​ by:
(A) 10%
(B) 15%
(C) 20%
(D) 25%

Answer:

(A) 10%

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand measures the sensitivity of demand in the face of price change. The calculation of the price elasticity of demand consists in dividing the change in quantity by the change in price. If the result is greater than | 1 | We say that demand is elastic, that is, sensitive to changes in price. If the result is between 0 and 1 we say that demand is inelastic, not sensitive to changes in price.

Thus we already know that the demand for beer is elastic, price sensitive. By applying the formula, we get the following result:

E = ΔQ/ΔP

At where

E = elasticity

ΔQ = Change in Quantity

ΔP = Price change

Exercise gives us the data of E = 1.5% and ΔQ = 15%

So using the formula:

1,5 = 15%/ΔP

ΔP = 1,5/15 = 0,1 = 10%

Therefore, to reduce the number of student deaths in car accidents, a tax needs to raise the price of alcohol by 10%.

Note:  It is given that the variation in the number of deaths is proportional to the variation in the quantity demanded for beer.

Answer:

Crystallization

Explanation:

In the Crystallization stage of Donald Super’s theory of occupational development, people still haven't sure on what the type of career that they want to pursue. They do have a certain preference toward a certain activities, but they still have to gather more information or experience in order to specify the type of careers that can satisfy their preference.

This can be seen in Lawrence's situation. He's not sure about what major and career he want to pursue and joining various type of groups in campus might help him figure out that question.

Donald E. Super believed that this stage  is very common among people between the age of 14-24.

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The US was still much more segregated and entrenched with conservative attitudes around the 1950s, with the civil right movement yet to develop a decade later; the big labels were not really interested in rock and roll at the time until Elvis with his swagger and more charisma than the other artists in the list <em>(mostly the way he was marketed)</em> what made him king due selling more records than anyone else and in a way that no one did before.

White artists rarely did better than original Black artists on the pop charts when making cover versions of R&B;  Chuck Berry used to record on independent R&B labels with influences of CW as a previous attempt to appeal to pop audiences blending R&B + CW, what was called as the <em>"Whitening"</em> of R&B, which influenced artists such as Buddy Holly and Bill Haley who was a Diskjockey that further helped in better introducing that sound to white audiences due being <em>"white"</em> himself, but not in the same way Elvis could later on.

R&B and CW were both influenced by Jazz and Swing; albeit most of their sounds and tempos are different, their lyrics, chords, melodies, and themes were similar, both reflected the down economy of that time in history, which resonated with most people across the social spectrum, bringing them together somehow, making them realize they had more things in common than they thought; the <em>"Elvis phenomenon"</em> capitalized this better than other previous trends, due to his rags to riches story, genuinely aligned with the American dream.

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

60 per thousand

Explanation:

Solution: Infant Mortality Rate =

\frac{number \: of \: deaths \: of \: infants \: under \: age\:1 \:  year \: of \: age}{total \: live \: births \: of \: infants \: in \: that \: year}  \times 1000

In short,

<h3> IMR= </h3><h3>\frac{d0}{b}  \times 1000 </h3>

Now, According to question

IMR=

\frac{60000}{1000000}  \times 1000

or, IMR=60

Therefore, IMR of that place is 60 per thousand.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer: B) Officer Martin may search the house in which the arrest occurred.

Explanation:

If the suspect is legally arrested, the police may search the suspect and the area in the immediate control and the entire place where the suspect was found during an arrest. No warrant is required to search the evidences. Also, the area must be legally seized so as to observed it again so that potential evidences can also be found after arrest.

The officer Martin who obtains an arrest warrant for Sam can conduct a search in Martin house without the search warrant. This is because the suspect is expected to have the tangible or destroyed evidences related to the case may be hidden in the Martin house.
