GB 540 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Utility Maximization Discussion

a Business question . Utility MaximizationOne of the main principles behind mainstream, neoclassical economic theory, is that individuals act to maximize their utility. Utility is generally defined as a satisfaction (pleasure) that an individual derives from consuming or using a specific good or service. Total utility indicates the total amount of satisfaction or pleasure an individual derives from consuming some specific quantity of a good or service. Marginal utility refers to the additional satisfaction a consumer gets from an additional unit of a good or service she/he consumes during a given period of time.The law of diminishing marginal utility states that as an individual consumes more and more units of a specific good or service, the additional utility the consumer derives from the successive units keep on diminishing (declining) over time. Thus diminishing marginal utility explains a lot about consumer behavior in the market economy.

Extraneous Variable Response

********please respond to the discussion question below add citation and references 🙂 ****** A dependent variable is the outcome variable. It takes on different values in response to the independent variable (Schmidt, 2018).An extraneous variable is a variable that can influence the relationship between the independent and dependent variable; can be controlled either through research design or statistical procedure; were not foreseen or known at the beginning of the study. Another definition of an extraneous variable is that it is any variable that you are not intentionally studying in your experiment or test. When you are conducting an experiment, you are looking to see if one variable (the independent variable) has an effect on another variable (the dependent variable ). So then when you conduct the experiment, at the end you will get results, however sometimes variables that you didn?t expect to be the outcome of the experiment may be undesirable and these are known as extraneous variables (Statistics How to, n.d.).One way researchers try to control extraneous variables is with participant variables. Participant variables minimizes difference between participants. For example, gathering a group of people with the same IQ or their stage of development such as age (Tutor 2 U, n.d.).A second way researchers can control extraneous variables include situation variables. Situational variables congtroll the setting where the experiment takes place, such as keeping light, sound, and temperatures levels consistent (Tutor 2 U, n.d.).Schmidt, M. (2018). Nursing research: Understanding methods for best practice.Retrieved from Statistics How to. (n.d.). Extraneous Variable Simple Definition. Tutor 2 U. (n.d.). Control of Extraneous Variables.

Effective Strategies in Controlling Anxiety Discussion Response

reply to discussion below:The US has several warning systems for our CIKR. The one I think we are most familiar with is the Emergency Broadcast System because testing THIS system usually interrupts a good game or show we were watching at the time.But more to your point, Sir, the false missile alert last year in Hawaii is a great example. Last January an employee of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, was supposed to initiate an internal test which is routinely performed. Apparently, during the test, there is a drop-down menu with the OPTIONS: ?Test missile alert? and ?Missile alert.? Well, the whole world now knows, he chose the latter, and initiated a real-life missile alert.The fact that it was a false alarm did not matter, it caused widespread panic (and news coverage), the alert DIDN?T come with instructions on what to do or where to go AND it took almost 40 minutes for the Gov to retract it!!Can you imagine those vacationing in Hawaii, (or who live there), believing they were all about to be obliterated and they?d never see their family and friends again?Such a human error caused not just panic and fear but now, more distrust. It?s not like we actually TRUST, TRUST our Gov in the first place but, who CAN we trust with the emergency alarm systems after THIS?Although this was unfortunate, it demonstrated a few things: the first is that we, Americans have no idea what to do in case there actually was a nuclear attack and WHERE we need to improve.Putting myself in this person?s shoes, I had a list of questions:Where the two options he had to choose from VISUALLY identical?Where was the extra layer of protection to mitigate a human error, like this?Since there were reportedly no directions or instructions contained in the alert: Are directions and instruction-type information manually entered (per incident conditions) after the alarm is sent?(Forgive me, my mind is till in risk management mode, so I find myself asking EVERY question I can think of to identify as many vulnerabilities as possible).
