Question

Sheridan considers herself a religious person who attends worship services regularly, but she did not attend worship services for two weeks in a row. using the principle of aggregation, we can predict that

Answer 1

The answer is: averaged over time, Sheridan attends worship services regularly.

When we use principle of aggregation, we would not rely on single measurement to make a representation of a person's behavior. We rely more on multiple sets of measurements.

From the case above, Sheridan not attending the services for two weeks could be explained by things such as personal issues or physical illness. Since she considers herself as religious who attend regularly, it is very likely that averaged over time, Sheridan attends worship services regularly.

Answer 2

We can predict that Sheridan will likely be affected with her-- not being able to attend the worship services for two weeks as she is a person who is religious and usually attends services regularly. Having to use principle of aggregation means that the behavior of a person, when looking at its aggregate is likely to be apparent and his or her behavior will likely be affected.
