A retail company is exploring new customer segments to increase sales. You are provided with the following data on three potential customer segments:

Segment A:

- Average annual revenue per customer: $500
- Average customer retention rate: 80%
- Average customer acquisition cost: $200
- Expected segment size: 2,000 customers

Segment B:

- Average annual revenue per customer: $750
- Average customer retention rate: 70%
- Average customer acquisition cost: $300
- Expected segment size: 1,500 customers

Segment C:

- Average annual revenue per customer: $1,000
- Average customer retention rate: 60%
- Average customer acquisition cost: $400
- Expected segment size: 1,000 customers

Assuming a 10% discount rate, which customer segment should the company target to maximize the return on investment? A target customer segment would have higher customer lifetime value (CLV). Note that CLV is calculated by using the following formula:

CLV = (Average Annual Revenue per Customer * Gross Margin %) * (Retention Rate / (1 + Discount Rate - Retention Rate)) - Customer Acquisition Cost

Myra is working on her thesis for which she created a scatter plot of the number of teachers and the number of college graduates for cities in Australia. She noticed a positive correlation. Which of these do you think is the probable explanation for this correlation?

A: Teachers encourage people to go to college, so an increase in the number of teachers leads to an increase in the number of college graduates. 

B: Some college graduates choose teaching as a profession after graduating, so an increase in the number of college graduates also leads to an increase in the number of teachers.

C: There are more college graduates and teachers in higher income cities, so income is a confounding variable here, make it difficult to prove causation between number of teachers and number of college graduates. 

D: Cities with a higher population have more teachers and more college graduates, so the correlation is due to a third variable (population of city).

E: The provided data is insufficient, so it is extremely difficult to establish the reason for the correlation.

F: Most college students choose non-teaching professions after graduating, which explains the correlation. 

G: In Australia, college students are encouraged by their teachers to choose teaching as a profession after graduating.
