WHAT?: One of three basic questions of allocation (the other two are How? and For Whom?). Answering the 'What?' question of allocation determines the types and quantities of goods and services produced with society's limited resources. Should society produce hammocks or hot fudge sundaes? Computers or Cadillacs? Birdfeed or battleships? The production possibilities analysis sets the stage for answering the 'What?' question.

Evaluation: Don't Agree

The data and hypothesis don't agree.- While we can never absolutely prove a universal positive, we can disprove it, we can reject it as false.
- Rejecting an hypothesis can be as useful and as informative than accepting it. We know something that is NOT true.
- If an hypothesis is wrong, then maybe the theory is wrong. Maybe the previously verified principles, unverifiable world axioms are wrong. Maybe the specific test was bad.
- Whether an hypothesis is accepted or rejected, the recommendation is to do another test and another
Remember science is a process, not a subject.

ARC ELASTICITY The average elasticity for discrete changes in two variables. The distinguishing characteristic of arc elasticity is that percentage changes are calculated based on the average of initial and ending values of each variable, rather than initial values. Arc elasticity is generally calculated using the midpoint elasticity formula. The contrast to arc elasticity is point elasticity. For infinitesimally small changes in two variables, arc elasticity is the same as point elasticity.
