c. the party created the taxation requirements for the customer price index.
d. the government is only in deciding when the democrats are in power.

i need , i know that d is not right. i'm not sure what the customer price index, but it seems as if that isn't the answer either. i'm leaning towards a or b. i was thinking that dems want to lower taxes and have the government spend more, but all the options are conflicting with that. me understand, i'm not here for it to be answered, i want a short explanation.

Avx home entertainment, inc., recently began a “no-hassles” return policy. a sample of 500 customers who recently returned items showed 400 thought the policy was fair, 32 thought it took too long to complete the transaction, and the rest had no opinion. on the basis of this information, make an inference about customer reaction to the new policy.

In 1975, mcdonald’s introduced its egg mcmuffin breakfast sandwich, which remains popular and profitable today. this longevity illustrates the idea of:

Aproduction line has three machines a, b, and c, with reliabilities of .96, .86, and .85, respectively. the machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. in either case, three machines (a, b, and c) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three. a. compute overall system reliability under plan 1. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability b. compute overall system reliability under plan 2. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability c. which plan will provide the higher reliability? plan2plan1
