According to a 2011 study by the American Association of University Women (AAUW), about 40 percent of full-time faculty nationwide in 2005 were women, yet they made up only 22 percent of faculty in computer and information sciences, 19 percent of
mathematics faculty and 12 percent of engineering faculty (the STEM fields). In 2005, the then President of Harvard University Lawrence Summers suggested that differences in math and science aptitude could explain part of this pattern. What reasons other than differences in aptitude could explain why women are under-represented in these fields?
Question 2
Assume that the demand curve for sunblock is linear and downward sloping. Which of the following statements about the slope of the demand curve for sunblock and the price elasticity of demand for sunblock are true?
A) The slope is constant, but the price elasticity of demand is not constant at all points along the demand curve for sunblock.
B) The slope of the demand curve for sunblock is constant and equal to zero; demand is perfectly inelastic.
C) The slope is not constant, but the price elasticity of demand is constant at all points along the demand curve for sunblock.
D) The slope and the price elasticity of demand are constant at all points along the demand curve for sunblock.
