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.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

Creativity plays an important role in children development, through playing in creative ways, children grow socially, emotionally and cognitively.

3 year-old children are in the <u>preoperational stag</u>e according to Piaget's theory, during this stage, children have <u>strong imaginatio</u>n and intuition so parents can use that imagination to encourage creativity.

When Lyndsey showed her drawing to her mother, the mother said what it looked like to her (like daddy).

If she wanted to encourage her daughter's creativity, she could have made questions that had to do with Lyndsey's imagination, for example:

  • Tell me about your picture,
  • What did you draw?
  • What were you thinking while drawing?
  • What's the story of your drawing?

noname [10]

Answer:

c. openness

Explanation:

The Five-Factor Model of personality is a model of the structure of personality according to which human personality can be described using five broad dimensions: Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness.

The main characteristics of the dimensions are:

  • Extraversion: Outgoing, socially confident behavior. Extroverts are sociable, talkative and enjoy being the center of attention. Introverts are more quiet and prefer to be on their own.
  • Agreeableness: Individuals who score highly on agreeableness are friendly and co-operative, they are trusting of others and are more altruistic and sympathetic. People who score low on this dimension are less concerned with pleasing other people or making friends, they tend to be more suspicious and are less charitable, they are also competitive and stubborn.
  • Conscientiousness: People who are conscientious are more aware of their actions and the consequences of their behavior than people who are unconscientious. They feel a sense of responsibility towards other people and are careful with their duties, they will be concerned about tidiness, punctuality and hard work.  People who score low on this dimension are less careful and are less concerned about tidiness and punctuality.
  • Neuroticism: People with high neuroticism are persistent worriers. They are fearful and often feel anxious, over-thinking their problems focusing on the negative aspects of them. They tend to become frustrated and angry if things don't go as they wish.  People who score low are less preoccupied and are able to remain more calm under stressful situations.
  • Openness: Willingness to try new activities. People with higher levels of openness enjoy artistic and cultural experiences and are more open to unfamiliar cultures and customs, they are imaginative.  People with low levels of openness <u>are wary of uncertainty and the unknown and feel uncomfortable in unfamiliar situations and prefer familiar environments.</u>

We can see that <u>Hammond has a daily routine and is comfortable in his familiar environments (the same route to work as well as going to the same beach resort)</u>. These are characteristics from people who score low in openness

mina [271]
<span>They are asking about what is known as omnipotence. Omnipotence is an idea (typically in monotheistic religions) where a single being is all-powerful. This of course raises the aforementioned question of how a being could be both all-powerful and simultaneously be merciful in a world where suffering exists. A merciful and omnipotent god should be able and willing to prevent all suffering according to this idea.</span>
