Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The two rules identified by the author are: 1. If two investments have the same expected return and different levels of risk, the investment with the lower risk is preferred. 2. If two investments have equal risk, the investment with the higher expected return is preferred.

As for the statement, it is true that investors don't like risk to the extent that they do not willingly accept greater risk without increased expected return. That does not imply that investors will always choose the investment with the least amount of risk. An investor may choose an investment with greater risk if the reward-to-risk trade-off is favorable.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
