NEW QUESTION 198
The color red has been shown to induce greater aggression in people than the color blue. Researchers conducted a study to determine whether such colorinduced aggression could influence the amount that consumers were willing to pay for an identical product in online auction and online negotiation scenarios.
The researchers photographed a single item against each of four background colors: blue, gray, white, and red. Using a computer, each participant in the study viewed the item against exactly one of the four background colors. Half of the participants were told the item was up for auction and were asked to submit their highest bid for the item. The other half of the participants were told to negotiate a price with the seller and were asked to offer the highest amount that they would be willing to pay for the item.
The researchers expected that participants who viewed the red background would typically behave more aggressively than those who viewed the blue background, Among the auction group, the researchers hypothesized that more aggressive participants would submit higher bids as they tried to beat other potential bidders, Among the negotiation group, the researchers hypothesized that more aggressive participants would make lower offers as they tried to compete against the seller to get the best deal.
Which of the following statements most accurately describes the relationship between the study's results and the researchers' hypotheses?
- A. The results in the negotiation scenario were consistent with the researchers' hypotheses, but the results in the auction scenario contradicted the researchers! hypotheses.
- B. The results in both the auction and negotiation scenarios were consistent with the researchers' hypotheses.
- C. The results in the auction scenario were consistent with the researchers' hypotheses, but the results in the negotiation scenario contradicted the researchers' hypotheses,
- D. The results in both the auction and negotiation scenarios contradicted the researchers' hypotheses.
- E. Neither the results in the auction nor the negotiation scenarios are relevant to the researchers' hypotheses.
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION 199
Sales promotions can involve selling a product at a relatively low price or selling the product with a free (or seemingly free) unit of the product, as in "buy one, get one free" campaigns. Research shows that immediately following month-long sales promotions, a postpromotion dip may occur, i.e., sales for the following calendar month may be less than sales for the calendar month preceding the sales promotion.
To increase sales, Storex, a department store, held month-long sales campaigns to promote four of its products. A sales promotion was considered successful if unit sales of the product were at least 10% higher in each of the 2 calendar months immediately following the promotion than In the month preceding it.
Experts have offered explanations for postpromotion dip:
* Explanation I: Many consumers stockpile the product at relatively low cost during the sales promotion.
* Explanation II: "Buy one, get one free" promotions cause some consumers to undervalue the product, making them less likely to buy it following the sales promotion.
* Explanation HI: Many consumers who missed a "buy one, get one free" opportunity may, as a result, develop so-called inaction inertia, i.e., become less likely to buy the product at either the regular or even at a discount price than if the sales promotion had not occurred.
For each of the following actions, select Yes if it is mentioned in at least two of the tabs. Otherwise, select No.

NEW QUESTION 200
West River Glen is deciding which network architecture should replace its old copper telephone lines. The town will replace 300 miles of Outside Plant (OSP) cable that will serve approximately 2,500 homes.
The first option is to install a Fiber to the Home (FTTH) system architecture that uses fiber-optic cable to transmit signals from the source to each home. The advantages of this architecture include greater bandwidth capabilities, less signal loss, and slightly lower new-cable deployment costs than the second option. Hybrid Fiber-Coax (HFC).
An HFC network integrates fiber-optic cables and devices with coaxial cables.
This will cost the town substantially less money for internal equipment and for customer installations.
However, the coaxial cable does not last as long as fiberoptic cable and will thus need to be replaced more frequently, resulting in higher long-term maintenance expenses.
The town believes that either the FTTH or HFC architectures will be capable of serving the communities' data and television needs for the next 30 years.
For each of the following statements, select Supported'if the statement is supported by the information given.
Otherwise, select Not supported.

NEW QUESTION 202
Parents of some of the children in a particular class have claimed that the teacher is not objective and favors his male students with higher grades. But the record showed that 92% of the female students received a passing grade in this teacher's class.

The argument above is flawed in that it ignored the possibility that
- A. many teachers find it difficult to be objective when assigning grades to male and female students.
- B. the evidence shows that more than 92% of the female students should have received a passing grade.
- C. the teacher is biased against female students in the case of only some of the subjects he teachers.

The flaw in the argument is that it assumes erroneously that a large percentage of female students who pass this teacher's class demonstrates absence of discriminatory behavior against women on the part of the teacher who gave the grade. Choice E exposes this flaw by pointing out that the judge may well have failed to pass a female student in cases where evidence shows that the student should have passed.
