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.
Which one of the following is most strongly supported by the sales data, given the other Information provided?
Researchers studying long-term changes In regional mouse populations have found that by focusing on the populations of a rare but widespread and easily identifiable species of mouse (Species X), they can make fairly accurate estimations about the total regional mouse populations.
In a report on a recent study that Included the data tables that follow, the researchers provided some addenda:
1. "The Species X population of Region CV increased by 123,995 between 1990 and 2005.
2. In contrast, the Species X population of Region EW declined by about 52% during that same time.
The answer to which one of the following can be determined by using the information in the passage and tables?
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.
According to the information provided, which of the following attributes is an advantage of HFC network architecture as compared with FTTH architecture?
Television picture quality improves as resolution increases. However, the resolution at which a given improvement in resolution becomes visible varies with the distance of
the viewer from the screen. As a viewer moves closer to the screen, a given improvement in resolution eventually becomes noticeable, finally conferring its “full benefit” at
a point at which moving closer would not improve the viewing experience.
On the graph, 480p, 720p, 1080p, and 1440p represent four common degrees of resolution: greater numbers indicate greater numbers of pixels on the screen and thus
greater resolution. Shaded portions show the distances at which these resolutions become noticeable, while the broken lines show the maximum distances at which a
viewer with normal eyesight would be expected to experience full benefit—all as a function of screen size. For each resolution and screen size shown, there is a small gap
between the maximum distance for full benefit from the resolution and the minimum distance for noticeable benefit from the next higher resolution.
(Note: 3 feet is roughly 1 meter, and 1 inch is roughly 2.5 centimeters.)
Assuming that the information contained in the graphic correctly applies to all viewers, select from the drop-down menus the options making the statements most
accurate.

For each of the following actions, select Yes if it is mentioned in at least two of the tabs. Otherwise, select No.
An orchestra conductor « planning the group's next concert. The orchestra will play a total of 3 pieces, and the conductor requires the total playing time of the 3 pieces to be at least 90 minutes but no more than 120 minutes. The pieces the conductor is considering are listed below with the approximate playing time.
First the orchestra will play one of two preludes:
• Prelude A (10 minutes)
• Prelude 8 (28 minutes)
Next they will play one of two classical piano concertos:
• Concerto A (32 minutes)
• Concerto B (48 minutes)
Finally they will play one of two romantic symphonies:
• Symphony A (35 minutes)
• Symphony B (41 minutes)
Based on these approximate lengths, select for Piece X and for Piece K two different pieces so that Piece X will be played before Piece Y, and if the conductor chooses Piece X, then in of def to comply with the given time constraints, the conductor must also choose Piece Y. Make only two selections, one in each column.
Two positive integers, A and B, each yield the same remainder when divided by 4. Furthermore, A is less than IS. In the table, select values for A and 5that are jointly consistent with the given information. Make only two selections, one in each column.
A certain local bakery operates 7 days a week. On Monday of next week, the bakery will begin a new schedule for baking 3 specialty breads. Under the new schedule, millet bread will be baked on Monday of next week and will be baked again every other day thereafter (Wednesday, Friday, and so on). Seven-grain bread will also be baked on Monday of next week, and will be baked again every third day thereafter (Thursday, Sunday, and so on). Pumpernickel bread will be baked on Tuesday of next week and will be baked again every third day thereafter. The schedule will continue indefinitely, and these 3 breads will not be baked at any times other than those specified.
In the table, select First day for none of the J for the day of the week on which, for the first time under the new schedule, none of the 3 specialty breads will be baked; select Second day for none of the 3'forthe day of the week on which, for the second time under the new schedule, none of the 3 specialty breads will be baked.
