How is this a dominant strategy for beta? (I being beta)

"If Air Lion produces "high", I will produce "low", and if "Air Lion produces "low", I will produce "high" "

I thought a dominant strategy was independent of what Air Lion chooses, so "I will produce "high" for whatever level of output Air Lion produces at" or something like that?

The Barclays scandal of them fixing the libor rate lower, would surely lead to a lower mortgage rate, so what is the problem? I know it gave a false impression of the health of the economy but surely lower mortgages is a great benefit and can help to stimulate the economy?

A is the point representing the number -1+0i

B is 1+0i

C is 0+i

P represents z

AP and BP make angles alpha and beta with the x axis

Angle APB = pi/4

Show that arg(z-1)-arg(z+1)=pi/4

I can't think how to show it! Especially as I don't know whereabouts P is.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I read that if a country is importing more than it is exporting, it may need to run down its foreign exchange reserves. I don't understand how this actually works. Consumers and firms do the main bulk of importing, not the government. But the foreign exchange reserves are held by the central bank, so how does the exchange actually work? How can an import be financed by foreign exchange reserves?

I'm reading a report and the sentence says:

"There is growing literature on the risk-return trade-off in education, where the main finding is that wages are higher after educational choices that lead to greater wage risk."

Could someone please explain to me what this sentence and/or wage risk means?

On poverty.org.uk: Absolute poverty refers to a set standard which is the same in all countries and which does not change over time. An income-related example would be living on less than $X per day.

On BBC (in UK): Absolute poverty is defined as living below 60 per cent of the 2010-11 median income, adjusted for inflation.

I don't understand. I've read that absolute poverty is measured the same globally: living under $1/2 a day so how is it that in the UK it uses a relative measure to measure absolute poverty!!

The Treasury have said that they are going to buy corporate bonds under Credit Easing but that this will not have an impact on the deficit. Why will it not? Also, how will the Bank of England be involved in this?

The Federal Reserve is planning to buy long-term bonds and sell short-term bonds in order to lower interest rates. How will this work?

In America there was a massive reaction with crashing of the stock markets when it was announced that job losses in the public sector were equal to job creation in the private sector. But if the two are equal, then surely there is no increase in unemployment and this is not great but okay.

Meanwhile, in the UK unemployment is rising with job creation in the private sector not managing to equal job losses in the public sector, so why is this not deemed as bad as no net jobs being created in the US?

If the Fed is simply doing a bond swap whereby they buy up long term debt of the same value of short term debt that they are selling off, how does this help to stimulate the US economy?

I heard that because the dollar is the reserve currency there is more demand for it. I understand this. But why is that the more demand there is for a currency, the lower the interest rate on borrowing it is?

Hi,

I'm really bad at bearings and mechanics in general and I can't get the right answer to this question. Please help!

A man walks 5 km from O on a bearing of 290° to a point A. He then walks a further distance of 2 km on a bearing of 045° to a point B. Find the distance OB and the bearing of O from B.

Please look at my diagram and tell me if it is right?

I got the distance OB right (4.53km) but I can't get the bearing right. Apparently it is 314° but if you look on my diagram it is impossible to get this!

What am I doing wrong?!

Please follow this link to look at my diagram

A regular hexagon comprises of six triangles.

Are all sides of each of these triangles the same length?

Its part of a GCSE question and i have just had one of those blanks

thankyou

for example: balcony, upper dress circle, dress circle or stalls.

Please do not recommend Theatremonkey.com - it does not say which are the best seats.

Thankyou

My sliding doors in the bedroom, have come off the rail and i have been told that a carpenter is the best person to replace the rail and the doors. They are dangerously close to falling, so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

The reason i don't just choose any person from the yellow pages is because i want someone who has been recommended!

Some carpet fitters need to carpet a rectangular room with 1m² carpet tiles. Unfotunately, they have left their instructions and their tape measure in the office and therefore don't know how many tiles they will need. They both remember some things. They remember that the width and length of the room are a whole number of metres. They also remember that the number of tiles that touch the edges of the room, is half the total number. The last thing they remember is that the width and length are not both even numbers. How many tiles did they need? and how did you get this answer!!
