Marcene is trying to decide which job offer to accept and is particularly concerned about her ability to pay back her substantial student loans. The first job has a far higher salary than the second one, but the company has a very high turnover rate and most people are gone within two years.

The second job has a lower salary, but it is a wonderful, supportive place to work and people tend to stay there for many years. If she takes that job, she will be able to make little more than the minimum payments on her loans and it will take her well beyond ten years to pay them back. By weighing out the likelihood that she will be able pay back her loans quickly given that she takes the first or second job, she is using ____.
 
  a. subjective utilities
 b. subjective probabilities
  c. conditional probabilities

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
