You are the mayor of a small town with 2000 residents. The head of your economic development agency recently conducted a survey in which the 2000 residents said that a public concert in the centre of town would be worth $20 to each of them. Since it costs only $5000 to hold the concert, you organized and held the concert, which everyone in town enjoyed. But when you asked for donations to pay for the concert, you only collected $30 in total. What do you know?
Question 88 options:
The concert was an example of the Tragedy of the Commons.
From the standpoint of total costs and benefits, the cost of the concert certainly exceeded the benefit.
The survey certainly overstated how much the concert was worth to each resident.
Residents of the town were probably free riders.
Three researchers are evaluating taste preferences among three leading brands of cola. After participants taste each brand, the first researcher simply checks to see if participants can distinguish them reliably by labeling each cola as "same" or "different" from the others, by giving them the same or different letter or number code. The second researcher asks each participant to identify the most preferred, the second most preferred, and the least preferred. The third researcher asks each participant to rate each of the colas on a 10-point scale, where a rating of 1 indicates “terrible taste” and 10 indicates “excellent taste," with the assumption that the difference betweeen a rating of 4 and 6 is the same as the difference between a 6 and 8. Identify the scale of measurement used by each researcher.

A CBS News poll involved a nationwide random sample of 651 adults, asked those adults about their party affiliation (Democrat, Republican or none) and their opinion of how the US economy was changing ("getting better," "getting worse" or "about the same"). The results are shown in the table below.
If we randomly select one of the adults who participated in this study, compute: (round to four decimal places)a.P(affiliated with neither party) = b.P(better) = c.P(better|affiliated with neither party) = d.P(affiliated with neither party|better) = e.P(affiliated with neither party and better) =

This is a distinction sometimes lost on technology ledorganizations, and the service sector is no exception. Recent experience of the UK’s largest telecommunications company, Della’s, illustrates how crucial it is to see service offers in terms of the benefits they bring to customers. The company was aware of extensive research which had found high levels of confusion among purchasers of mobile phones, with a seemingly infinite permutation of features and prices. With four main networks to choose from, dozens of tariffs and hundreds of handsets, it is easy to see why buyers sought a way of simplifying their buying process. Throughout the 1990s, Della’s had positioned its UK network as superior technically to its competitors. Advertising focused on high coverage rates and call reliability.Della’s was the UK's most popular mobile phone operator, with almost eight million…arrow_forwardAnswer the following questionsarrow_forward
