Answer:

b) The type of cone.

Explanation:

When we do a research, there are two main variables to take into account. These variables are the independent variable and the dependent variable.

  1. The independent variable is the one that we can control as researches and that will have an effect on another variable.
  2. The dependent variable is the one that we don't really have control on and is the one that gets affected by the independent variable.

In this example, the experimenter studies the influence of ingesting sugar on memory.

The variable that the experimenter will control is the cone he will give to children (low calorie or high sugar) and therefore this is the <u>independent variable.</u>

On the other hand, he will later test if there are differences in memory between both groups (by counting the number of trials it will take them to learn new words) this variable, he won't be able to control it, so this is the <u>dependent variable </u>

Thus, the independent variable as we said before will be b) the type of cone.

Should the Electoral College be preserved or replaced? If you think it should be replaced, what do you believe should replace it
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

believe that the Electoral College should be eliminated and replaced with a popular vote. There are more than 300 million people living in the United States, but only 538 are deciding who is president.

This wouldn’t be an issue if the Electoral College properly represented the will of the people, but in the most recent presidential election, they failed to do so. A popular vote would ensure that each vote matters and properly represents the people’s decision.

The Electoral College goes against the idea that each person has a vote and defeats the idea that every vote counts

Sherif's study of individuals watching a pinpoint of light indicated that
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The answer is: people conform when they face ambiguous situations

In the study, Sherif put the subjects in a dark room and told them to  to watch a pinpoint of light  and  let the researchers know how far has the light moved.

Sherif put several actors among the subjects in order to collectively support a false interpretation and voiced their opinion to the group.

The result is fascinating. As it turned out, large portion of the non-actors subjects actually choose to disregard their opinion and choose to conform to the actors'opinion in the ambiguous situations.
