答案和详解如下：

Answer 31 

The correct answer was C) The mutual fund ratio (cash position) is 15%. 

Low credit balances, low put/call ratios, and a low IAR (bearish advisers/total advisers) all suggest that most investors are bullish, which a contrarian would interpret as a bearish signal. High mutual fund cash positions are a bullish indicator to a contrarian technician.

Answer 33 

The correct answer was A) The combination formula determines the number of different ways a group of objects can be drawn in a specific order from a larger sized group of objects. 

The permutation formula is used to find the number of possible ways to draw r objects from a set of n objects when the order in which the objects are drawn matters. The combination formula ("n choose r") is used to find the number of possible ways to draw r objects from a set of n objects when order is not important. The other statements are accurate.

Answer 35 

The correct answer was A) Actual inflation that is higher than the inflation rate anticipated by workers will be accompanied by an increase in the unemployment rate in the short run. 

The short-run Phillips curve, which relates the unemployment rate to the inflation rate, is drawn based on workers’ expected inflation rate. An actual inflation rate higher than the expected rate will be accompanied by a decrease in the unemployment rate in the short run. The other three statements are accurate.
