With its current levels of input use, a firm's MRTS is 3 (when capital is on the vertical axis and labor is on the horizontal axis). This implies: Group of answer choices if it used one more unit of both capital and labor, the firm could produce 3 more units of output. the firm could produce 3 more units of output if it increased its use of labor by one unit (holding capital constant). if the firm reduced its capital stock by one unit, it would have to hire 3 more workers to maintain its current level of output. the firm could produce 3 more units of output if it increased its use of capital by one unit (holding labor constant). the marginal product of labor is 3 times the marginal product of capital.

Answer:

if the firm reduced its capital stock by one unit, it would have to hire 3 more workers to maintain its current level of output

Explanation:

In the case when the MRTS is 3 so this implies that the value mentioned is one by 3 so this represents the capital amount that are required to subsitute for one unit of labor to remian on the similar isoquant

Therefore as per the given situation, the above represent the answer

Hence, the same is to be considered

Left ventricular mass (LVM), determined from echocardiograms, is an important risk factor for subsequent cardiovascular disease. The researchers are interested in assessing whether LVM changes in children over a 4-year period. To help plan the main study, a pilot study is conducted where echocardiograms are obtained from 10 random children from the Bogalusa Heart Study at baseline and after 4 years of follow-up. The sample mean of LVM change over the 4-year study period is 18.9 g and the sample standard deviation is 26.4 g. For answering the questions (a) and (b) below, assume that the sample variance of LVM change in this pilot study is the true variance of LVM change in the population.(a). If the expected increase in LVM is 10 g, what is the power of such a study if a two-sided test is to be used with α = 0.05? (b). Since this is a pilot study, the main question of interest is how many subjects would be needed to detect an increase of 10 g in mean LVM over 4 years using a two-sided test with α = 0.05 and power = 80%? Suppose the researchers also want to get an idea of the true population variance σ 2 of LVM change in children over a 4-year period based on the pilot data. (c). Perform a hypothesis test to assess whether σ 2 is significantly different from 300. Use both critical-value and p-value methods. (d). Find a 95% confidence interval (CI) of σ 2 . Is the result consistent with that of (c)? Justify your answer.
