A researcher asks participants to estimate the calories they consume in a meal. The researcher records the following estimates: 450, 426, 310, 500, and 220. If the researcher removes the estimate of 220 (perhaps because the participant drops out of the study), then the value of the mean will ______.

The sample variance is an unbiased estimator of the population variance when dividing SS by df.

The Present Value of $450 in 15 years at a discount rate of 10% is given by the expression

Which stage of Meiosis is depicted in the following image?

Which of the following best describes carrying capacity?

When discussing new environmental regulations, which of the following discount rates would be more likely to be recommended by the progressive politicians promoting the Green New Deal?

Suppose that 70 tons of a brand-new mineral called vibranium is discovered in the country of Wakanda and that Wakanda is the only place on Earth with this mineral. The vibranium industry is perfectly competitive with many small producers that take prices as given.  Investors can earn a 15% interest rate elsewhere in the economy.  Assume that the inverse demand curve for vibranium is the same in both periods: Pt = 120 – qt, where Pt is the price in period t and qt is the total quantity demanded in period t.  For simplicity, assume that there are only two periods, so that all vibranium must be sold either in the first or in the second period. If the objective is to maximize resource rents, a. How much vibranium should be produced in the first period and in the second period? b. Compute the price for vibranium in both periods 1 and 2.   HINT:  Hotelling’s rule implies that  r = (P2 – P1) / P1
