Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

There is an active market for cola-flavored soft drinks because there are enough consumers who want these soft drinks and are willing to pay for them. Not enough consumers want sauerkraut-flavored soft drinks, and since they are not willing to pay for these soft drinks, there are no producers making them. This is the principle of consumer sovereignty.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
