Which of the following is true regarding the production possibility frontier model? There is more than one correct answer to this question. You must mark all of the correct answers to receive full credit for this question.
Group of answer choices
The PPF always slopes down because resources are limited.
Resource use is efficient in producing all of the combinations shown on a PPF.
Using only the PPF model, it is not possible to state that any one combination on a frontier is superior to any other combination on the same frontier.
If resources are not specialized, the PPF will be a straight, downward-sloping line.
The principle of increasing marginal opportunity cost only applies in cases when resources are specialized.

Hint: If you use the Student's t distribution table, be sure to use the closest d.f. that is smaller. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) lower limit % upper limit % (c) Compute a 99% confidence interval for the population mean μ of home run percentages for all professional baseball players. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) lower limit % upper limit % (d) The home run percentages for three professional players are below. Player A, 2.5 Player B, 2.0 Player C, 3.8 Examine your confidence intervals and describe how the home run percentages for these players compare to the population average. We can say Player A falls close to the average, Player B is above average, and Player C is below average. We can say Player A falls close to the average, Player B is below average, and Player C is above average. We can say Player A and Player B fall close to the average, while Player C is above average. We can say Player A and Player B fall close to the average, while Player C is below average. (e) In previous problems, we assumed the x distribution was normal or approximately normal. Do we need to make such an assumption in this problem? Why or why not? Hint: Use the central limit theorem. Yes. According to the central limit theorem, when n ≥ 30, the x distribution is approximately normal. Yes. According to the central limit theorem, when n ≤ 30, the x distribution is approximately normal. No. According to the central limit theorem, when n ≥ 30, the x distribution is approximately normal. No. According to the central limit theorem, when n ≤ 30, the x distribution is approximately normal.

Since the P-value is less than α = 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis that the population slope β is equal to zero in favor of the alternate hypothesis that the population slope βis greater than zero.
Since the P-value is greater than α = 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis that the population slope β is equal to zero in favor of the alternate hypothesis that the population slope βis greater than zero.
Since the P-value is greater than α = 0.05, we fail to reject the null hypothesis that the population slope β is equal to zero in favor of the alternate hypothesis that the population slope β is greater than zero.
Since the P-value is equal to α = 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis that the population slope β is equal to zero in favor of the alternate hypothesis that the population slope βis greater than zero.
