Q2:Scarcity exists when there are

A)unlimited resources.

B)an excess of supply.

C)constrained choices.

D)fear-mongering politicians.

Q43:

The ________ cost of an activity is the highest valued alternative that must be given up to engage in that activity.

		sunk
		opportunity
		fixed
		variable

Expert Solution

Answer (2) : Correct option is constrained choices.

Answer (43) : Correct option is opportunity.

Explanation :-

Scarcity occurs when there are limited resources available but people's needs and wants for that resources is unlimited. In other words, we can say that scarcity occurs when there is decrease in supply or increase in demand for that goods/resources. So, we can say that scarcity occurs when there is constrained in the choices regarding that goods/resources. It means in scarcity, we are forced to make choices among two or more alternatives.

Opportunity cost is the most desirable alternative that is given up/sacrifice as a result of a decision regarding an economic choice, since unlimited wants are not satisfied by limited resources. So, opportunity cost of an activity is the highest valued alternative that must be given up to engage in that activity is the correct answer to this question.

A multiple-choice examination consists of 85 questions, each having possible choices a, b, c, d, and e. Approximate the probability that a student will get at most 18 answers correct if she randomly guesses at each answer. (Note that, if she randomly guesses at each answer, then the probability that she gets any one answer correct is 0.2.) Use the normal approximation to the binomial with a correction for continuity.

Four People (A, B, C, D) are having a conversation. When one person finishes speaking, it is equally likely that any of the other three begins. Under this assumption, the transitions from one speaker to the next follow the rules of a Markov chain. Let T be the number of transitions it takes for conversation to return A. Find the mean of T.
