Answer:

c. dependent variable

Explanation:

In research, the <u>independent variable</u> is the variable that can be manipulated by the researchers and which will have an effect on another variable that is called the dependent variable. (Therefore, the variable in which the affect is perceived is called the dependent variable). The researchers don't really  have control over the dependent variable but it is the one that it's being tested and see how it responds to the independent variable.

In this example, the race of a criminal offender seems to determine the frequency with which capital punishment is administered. We can see that apparently, <u>the race of the criminal offender affects the punishment and how frequent it is received. </u>Therefore, since the race is affecting the frequency of the capital punishment, we can say that the punishment can be considered the dependent variable.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer: your question is not complete, please let me assume this to be your complete question.

A medical researcher wants to determine whether exercising can lower blood pressure. At a health fair, he measures-the blood pressure of 100 individuals, and interviews them about their exercise habits. He divides the individuals into two categories: those whose typical level of exercise is low, and those whose level of exercise is high.

a. Is this a controlled experiment or an observational study?

b. The subjects in the low exercise group had considerably higher blood pressure, on the average, than subjects in the high exercise group. The researcher concludes that exercise decreases blood pressure. Is this conclusion well-justified? Explain.

ANSWERS:

a. This is an observational study because, the medical researcher, has gotten into his research to observe if exercise has any impact on blood pressure, and not to find a cure.

b. The conclusion is not well justified because of the following reasons;

• It has not yet gone through scientific proof, in a lab or workshop, it is still under observation.

• Her result show on the average that means her conclusion did not imply to everyone she interviewed.

• Her conclusion is fallacious. She has committed a "fallacy of hasty generalization" that is taking an experience from a set people, to be the same on everyone. She has only measured 100 individual out of the billions of individual living in the world, and she is taking her conclusion from 100 persons to be applicable to more than billions of people she has not measured.

Why does the text call the nanchan temple, wutaishan the most important example of early chinese architecture?
dlinn [17]

Nanchan Temple is a Buddhist temple located in the site of Wutaishan, Shanxi Province, China. It is a very important example of early Chinese architecture because its so-called Buddha Hall - an area inside the structure reserved for praying - is the oldest or earliest wooden building that still exists in China. Considering that it was built in the year 782, during the famous Tang dynasty, and that wood is a delicate material that does not stand the test of time, it certainly deserves that title.

In addition, the building preserves a set of sculptures from the same period.
