There is a positive correlation between high income and a high college grade point average. Are there any confounds or extraneou

dusya [7]

Answer:

A correlation is only a mathematical means of describing the relationship between variables. When it is a positive correlation, it means when the value of one increases, for example, the value of the other variable also increases or when one decreases, so does the other. A negative correlation would show that as one variable increases in value, the other decreases. These relationships are non-causal as you're not manipulating variables to control them to see what is causing this relationship. Sometimes, non-causal covariance (or variables that don't have an effect on each other vary cooincidentally in a pattern-like fashion, when there is actually another variable causing the relationship going on.

Explanation:

In the case of this example, it is doubtful that having money causes you to have a higher grade point average. So while we see an increase in grade point average with those who have high income it could be due to other factors, like people with more money have access to learning tools, tutors and other things that people with less money don't have access to. So it is access to tools, not money that is actually causing a difference. There are likely dozens if not hundreds of other potential confounded variables that could be causing this observation.

What are the implications of a society that focuses on maximizing pleasure and minimizing pain?

Phantasy [73]

This is a question that refers to philosophical utilitarianism.

It is the search for the maximum happiness and pleasure, with the least possible suffering, but with an implicit moral question. When we are led to the feeling of pain or pleasure, we determine the way forward and know what is right or wrong.

In this way, it is possible that we are facing a moral dilemma. In our quest for happiness or minimizing our pain, our actions can impact others. That is, utilitarianism is essentially a teleological and consequentialist theory. Therefore, we must seek the impartial maximization of the happiness of all affected by our attitudes, regardless of the affective ties.

Gabe was essentially fluent in French in elementary school when he lived in Canada, but then moved away until he got a job offer

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

This is an example of recall.

Explanation:

Recalling is the action of bringing information back from the long-term memory, which has been previously stored.

Once information is stored in this type of memory, it won't be forgotten with ease and can be accessible by cues, for example.

Since Gabe was still in elementary school when he learnt French, it was easier for him to retain this information. Now, once he heads to Paris and listens to French again, it is easier for him to access the previously learnt information since the language itself provided him with the cues he needed to do so.

Through dating , we will have more time to observe our partner's behavior due to the amount of time that we spend together. IN the long run, this will help us feel more comfortable with that other person and we will start to understand the general principle/moral values that our partner held.

6. That statement is true

Both decisions would have their own advantage disadvantage.

Begin dating would help them learn about how to develop close/intimate relationship with other people, but it would take a lot of their time.

Remain abstinent would help them focus on their academics, but it would damage their social status and make it harder for them to connect with others when the do need one.

7. That statement is true

What make a certain action or behavior 'risky' is the fact that it would trap us in uncertain situations that can damage/destroy our life at any moment.

By planning ahead, we can identify each risks and think about positive and negative value that we can get before hand. This would eliminate the 'uncertainty' and help us avoid the behaviors that had high probability of damaging our life.
