You are driving through town at 12 m/s when suddenly a car backs out of a driveway in front of you. You apply the brakes and begin decelerating at 3.3 m/s2. How much time does it take to stop? After braking half the time found in part A, is your speed 6.0 m/s, greater than 6.0 m/s, or less than 6.0 m/s?

Consider a remote town in which two restaurants, All-You-Can-Eat Café and GoodGrub Diner, operate in a duopoly. Both restaurants disregard health and safety regulations, but they continue to have customers because they are the only restaurants within 80 miles of town. Both restaurants know that if they clean up, they will attract more customers, but this also means that they will have to pay workers to do the cleaning.
If neither restaurant cleans, each will earn $14,000; alternatively, if they both hire workers to clean, each will earn only $11,000. However, if one cleans and the other doesn't, more customers will choose the cleaner restaurant; the cleaner restaurant will make $18,000, and the other restaurant will make only $6,000.
Complete the following payoff matrix using the information just given. (Note: All-You-Can-Eat Café and GoodGrub Diner are both profit-maximizing firms.)
If All-You-Can-Eat Café and GoodGrub Diner decide to collude, the outcome of this game is as followis: All-You-Can-Eat Café _______ and GoodGrub Diner _______
If both restaurants decide to cheat and behave noncooperatively, the outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium of this game is as follows: All-You-Can-Eat Café _______ and GoodGrub Diner _______

Pedro is a college student who receives a monthly stipend from his parents of $1,000. He uses this stipend to pay rent for housing and to go to the movies (you can assume that all of Pedro’s other expenses, such as food and clothing have already been paid for). In the town where Pedro goes to college, each square foot of rental housing costs $2 per month. The price of a movie ticket is $10 per ticket. Let xdenote the square feet of housing, and let ydenote the number of movie tickets he purchases per month.
a) What is the expression for Pedro’s budget constraint?
b) Draw a graph of Pedro’s budget line.
c) What is the maximum number of square feet of housing he can purchase given his monthly stipend?
d) What is the maximum number of movie tickets he can purchase given his monthly stipend?
e) Suppose Pedro’s parents increase his stipend by 10 percent. At the same time, suppose that in the college town he lives in, all prices, including housing rental rates and movie ticket prices, increase by 10 percent. What happens to the graph of Pedro’s budget line?

Developmental psychology: Analyze the answers you get for each metaphor in terms of the presence or absence of hypothetical/deductive thinking, differentiation vs. globality, and egocentricity (one perspective explored) vs. multiple perspectives.
Metaphor 1:cat feet
Answer: means the fog moves in stealthily and silently like a cat moves.
Metaphor 2: eyes were candles
Answer: means that you could feel and see that her eyes were the one thing that most expressive and showed that she was alive, present and bright in an otherwise misty serene environment where not much detail could be seen.
Metaphor 3: banged town
Answer: gives the impression that the town's been hit hard by the festivities and weather. ( This one was kind of hard to understand but that's my best guess at what "banged town" might mean. ??
Metaphor 4: possessed all earth and air
Answer: means that for a short time the car took over the environment/space and time so it was only thing you could see, hear and feel before it moved in to background/distance again like a "droning bee" Metaphor 5:frowning arch creates the feeling that the door/entrance is ominous or menacing, dark and uninviting

Assume that we want to construct a confidence interval. Do one of the following, as appropriate: (a) find the critical value t Subscript alpha divided by tα/2, (b) find the critical value z Subscript alpha divided by zα/2, or (c) state that neither the normal distribution nor the t distribution applies. Here are summary statistics for randomly selected weights of newborn girls: n= 177, overbarx= 32.7 hg, s = 6.2 hg. The confidence level is 99%.
Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
A) ta/2 = _
B) Za/2 = _
C) Neither the normal distribution nor the t distribution applies.

Catarina recently downloaded Snapchat. She is a mom to two daughters, who are 11 and 13. The girls recently began using Snapchat and love playing with the filters to take selfies, and they encouraged their mom to get Snapchat too so they can share fun photos with each other.
