<u>Answer:</u>

Dr. DeVries may not be able to generalize his findings because (b) His data may be positively skewed.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Due to the less high scores, the median generally tends to be lower than the mean which makes the mean to shift right is termed as positively skewed distribution.

Due to the less low scores, the median generally tends to be greater than the mean which makes the mean to shift left is termed as negatively skewed distribution.

So, this type of error affects the outcome data in an unpredicted manner. Finally, it leads to - Dr. DeVries may not be able to generalize his findings.

What often caused promblems for the chinese societies
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

floods

Explanation:

The Great Flood of Gun-Yu (Chinese: 鯀禹治水), also known as the Gun-Yu myth,[1] was a major flood event in ancient China that allegedly continued for at least two generations, which resulted in great population displacements among other disasters, such as storms and famine. People left their homes to live on the high hills and mounts, or nest on the trees.[2] According to mythological and historical sources, it is traditionally dated to the third millennium BCE, or about 2300-2200 BC, during the reign of Emperor Yao.

However, archaeological evidence of an outburst flood on the Yellow River, comparable to similar severe events in the world in the past 10,000 years, has been dated to about 1900 BC (a few centuries later than the traditional beginning of the Xia dynasty which came after Emperors Shun and Yao), and is suggested to have been the basis for the myth.[3]

Treated either historically or mythologically, the story of the Great Flood and the heroic attempts of the various human characters to control it and to abate the disaster is a narrative fundamental to Chinese culture. Among other things, the Great Flood of China is key to understanding the history of the founding of both the Xia dynasty and the Zhou dynasty, it is also one of the main flood motifs in Chinese mythology, and it is a major source of allusion in
