Reference:
Martin, W. by R. (n.d.). Fox's "news side" anchor Bret Baier airs misleading graphs about crude oil and natural gas prices. Media Matters for America. Retrieved February 3, 2023, from https://www.mediamatters.org/bret-baier/foxs-news-side-anchor-bret-baier-
airs-misleading-graphs-about-crude-oil-and-natural-gas What is the source or title of the original misleading claim?
Fox News Special report with Bret Baier
https://www.foxnews.com/shows/special-report
Unfortunately to watch the full episode you must have a tv subscription but you can see the clip in the source that analyzes the clip at the bottom. What is the claim being made?
Fox News aired false or misleading information and graphics, Special Report anchor Bret Baier episode from September 28
th
2021 displayed suspiciously truncated graphs plotting the change in prices of natural gas and crude oil.
What is the statistical analysis proposed to support this claim?
The graphs spanned from 2019 to 2021, a notably short snapshot in time. These graphs ignore the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, which made commodity prices fall drastically in 2020. Fox News is trying to sensationalize dismal global prices amid a pandemic and erroneously blame these numbers on one nation’s president.
Fox News Graphic:
Correct Depiction According to analyzing source:
The crude oil graph cites Western Texas Intermediate (WTI) for oil prices, but a 10- or 25-year timespan would have painted a much more accurate view of crude oil price fluctuations. Truthfully, current prices of crude oil seem to be skyrocketing because the COVID-19 pandemic has slowed global trade and travel since 2020. And Baier was correct to point out that prices for natural gas have been increasing for three years, but it would have been more accurate to note that natural gas prices have reached a seven-year high, showing that this increasing trend is not new.

2. After a careful statistical analysis, the Chidester Company concludes the demand function for its product is Q = 500 - 3P + 2Pr + 0.1Iwhere Q is the quantity demanded of its product, P is the price of its product, Pr is the price of its rival’s product, and I is per capita disposable income (in dollars). At present, P = $10, Pr = $20 and I = $6,000.a. What is the price elasticity of demand for the firm’s product?b. What is the income elasticity of demand for the firm’s product?c. What is the cross-price elasticity of demand between its product and its rival’s product?d. What is the implicit assumption regarding the population in the market?

Read the following extract and answer the questions that follow:Big fuel price hikes announced for Wednesday, 29 Nov 2021The petrol price will be hiked by 81c a litre on Wednesday, while diesel will go up by between 72.5c a litre (0.05% sulphur) and 74.5c (0.005% sulphur), the department of mineral resources and energy announced. The latest price hike will push the price of petrol - currently around R19.50 a litre - to above R20 in Gauteng and other inland provinces. At the start of November, petrol prices were hiked by R1.21, while diesel increased by R1.48. Illuminating paraffin will go up by 42.2c/l, while the maximum LP Gas retail price will be increased by 183.00c/kg from 1 December. Local fuel prices are determined by international oil prices - as well as the dollarrand value, as South Africa buys oil in dollar. The latest fuel price hikes are due in large part to a sharp fall in the rand against the dollar, which averaged at R15.85/$ over the past month, compared to R14.72 the…

Summarize this
While the major economies slid into recession and industries suffered great losses to the COVID-19 pandemic, E-commerce sales saw explosive growth. In this rapid movement of consumers to online purchasing and delivery services, there has been a large increase in the demand for packaging materials, such as cardboard boxes. Supporting this, Parcel Shipping Index by Pitney Bowes Inc. (2020) finds global parcel volume exceeding 131 billion, a 27% increase from 2019. Corrugated cardboards are largely and versatilely used for secondary packaging of goods, up to the tertiary packaging of large packs into mass cargo (Saxon Packaging, 2020). In addition to its relatively low cost, its strength and durability are also remarkable in protecting a variety of products from damage, notably during the shipment process. Given this, businesses have been largely reliant on the material as a practical, secure, and sustainable way of containing their products from production centers to…

Textbooks and the Internet
Four companies dominate the higher education textbook market: Pearson, McGraw-Hill Education, Cengage, and Wiley. College textbooks can be an expensive addition to the cost of higher education. College textbook prices have increased at a rate of three times inflation since 1977. The current average cost of a college textbook is $175. In recent years, the introduction of online textbooks and opensource materials have disrupted this market and changed some of its characteristics.
1. Do you think the change has a benefit or hurt to society? What will be the effect of the continued expansion of foundations and governments funding opensource texts? How does this change benefit or hurt society?

I mostly need help with the total revenue calculations at the bottom of the screenshot. If you could also briefly go over the fill in the blank questions too that could be great. I want to understand how those answers are used in the calculation of the total revenue values. Thanks!
