Answer:
Option A) independent variable – self-affirmations; dependent variable – self-esteem scores
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
"Wood and colleagues (2009) examined the value of self-affirmation. In a typical study, participants either engaged or did not engage in self-affirmations. Later, their current self-esteem was assessed."
Independent and Dependent Variable:
- Dependent variable is the variable whose value depends on the independent variable.
- Independent variable is the free variable.
For the given scenario, self esteem is assessed based on the fact that participants either engaged or did not engage in self-affirmations.
Thus, the dependent variable is self esteem and the independent variable is engagement in self affirmation.
Thus, the correct answer is
Option A) independent variable – self-affirmations; dependent variable – self-esteem scores

Answer:
Hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Jake is being paid $15 an hour, not per child.
Say he has five children, three stay for one hour, two stay for two hours. If he's getting paid per hour, then he'd earn $105. But, if he gets paid per child he'd only make $75 dollars.
But since it says that he gets paid per HOUR, it would be proportional to how much money he makes.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given are 3 data sets with values as:
(i) 8 9 10 11 12 ... Mean =10
(ii) 7 9 10 11 13 ... Mean =10
(iii) 7 8 10 12 13 ... Mean =10
We see that data set shows mean deviations as
(i) -2 -1 0 1 2
(ii) -3 -1 0 1 3
(iii) -3 -2 0 2 3
Since variance is the square of std deviation, we find that std deviation is larger when variance is larger.
Variance is the sum of squares of (x-mean). Whenever x-mean increases variance increases and also std deviation.
Hence we find that without calculations also (i) has least std dev followed by (ii) and then (iii)
(i) (ii) (iii) is the order.
b) Between (i) and (ii) we find that 3 entries are the same and 2 entries differ thus increasing square by 9-4 twice. But between (ii) and (iii) we find that
increase in square value would be 4-1 twice. Obviously the latter is less.
