English chemist William Henry studied the amounts of gases absorbed by water at different temperatures and under different pressures. In 1803, he stated a formula, p = kHc, which related the concentration of the dissolved gas at a constant temperature to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid. This relationship describes a scientific a. hypothesis  b. law  c. observation  d. theory

In 2006, the average number of new single-family homes built per town in the state of Maine was 14.325 (www.mainehousing.org). Suppose that a random sample of 42 Maine towns taken in 2009 resulted in an average of 13.833 new single-family homes built per town, with a standard deviation of 4.241 new single-family homes. Using the 5% significance level, can you conclude that the average number […]

Juanita maintains the only greenhouse in isolated Point Barrow, Alaska, and therefore has a monopoly on the sale of fresh flowers. Her hired-gun statistician estimates that the elasticity of demand for her flowers is – 0.5. Explain intuitively how you know that Juanita cannot be maximizing profits. (Hint: Think about total revenue and total costs.)
