Suppose that Greece and Sweden both produce rye and olives. Greece's opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 4 bushels of rye while Sweden's opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 10 bushels of rye.

By comparing the opportunity cost of producing olives in the two countries, you can tell that has a comparative advantage in the production of olives and__ has a comparative advantage in the production of rye.

Suppose that Greece and Sweden consider trading olives and rye with each other. Greece can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of rye for each crate of olives it exports to Sweden. Similarly, Sweden can gain from trade as long as it receives more than of olives for each bushel of rye it exports to Greece.

Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of olives in terms of rye) would allow both Sweden and Greece to gain from trade? Check all that apply.

2 bushels of rye per crate of olives

8 bushels of rye per crate of olives

18 bushels of rye per crate of olives

6 bushels of rye per crate of olives

How is the architecture career pathway different from the construction pathway? a. architecture involves coordinating with contractors to make sure everyone stays on schedule. b. architecture involves using tools and equipment to build something new. c. architecture involves the design process, considering the function and safety of the project. d. architecture involves evaluating the work of contractors and employees.

Reliability and validity reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. in the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways. unfortunately, being consistent in measurement does not necessarily mean that you have measured something correctly. to illustrate this concept, consider a kitchen scale that would be used to measure the weight of cereal that you eat in the morning. if the scale is not properly calibrated, it may consistently under- or overestimate the amount of cereal that’s being measured. while the scale is highly reliable in producing consistent results (e.g., the same amount of cereal poured onto the scale produces the same reading each time), those results are incorrect. this is where validity comes into play. validity refers to the extent to which a given instrument or tool accurately measures what it’s supposed to measure. while any valid measure is by necessity reliable, the reverse is not necessarily true. researchers strive to use instruments that are both highly reliable and valid.
