Hey duddy, thanks Slight Smile For f) It's a little bit hard to tell because it could be inelastic because there can be some people who only have public transportation as their only option to get where they need, which is essential. Whereas it could also be elastic because there are other options to consider for it like walking/running, bike ride, asking someone like a friend to drive you, but really depends on how far or close you are going.
g) I actually see it as inelastic now that I think about it, I chose elastic because maybe people would rather do their hair themselves, rather paying a lot of money for someone else to do your hair, but at the same time I feel like majority would/need want someone to do their hair professionally. What do you think?
