Why did the government of Texas have a large debt

Social Studies
1 answer:
IgorLugansk [536]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The large debt of Texas accounts from the <em>building of extravagant sports facilities and the obligations for the government's workers' pensions.</em>

Explanation:

Since 2015, the local debt of the government of Texas has already exceeded $338. This literally means that every person (including children) in the state owes $12,250 dollars of the country's incurred debt. This is also a result of the country's borrowing binge, which even adds more debts year after year.

There are primarily two reasons why the government of Texas has a large debt. First, they borrow money to build extravagant athletic facilities in schools. This is because the country has a consuming passion for sports such as football. Second, they also have trouble funding the pension system. Most of these systems are underfunded, thus resulting into more contributions coming from each municipalities.

<em>This growing debt needs to have a reform and transparency in order to be addressed properly.</em>

Dr. Pulaski decided to replicate Solomon Asch's classic experiment of conformity to group pressure. If his results are consisten
vredina [299]

Answer: (A)

Dr. Pulaski is likely to find that approximately three-quarters (76 percent) of the subjects will conform to the group's judgment on at least one critical trial.

Explanation:

Solomon Asch conducted an experiment to find out to what extent people conform to group pressure.

He set up the experiment to include a single participant and seven confederates in a group. (A confederate is an accomplice of a researcher who is placed intentionally within an experiment by the researcher, so he can manipulate the experiment in his favor).

Each confederate was to give the same wrong answer to a certain question asked, while the participant was to provide his answer last.

Asch then observed if the single participant would tailor his answer according to the wrong answers provided by the confederates, or would provide the accurate answer.

Asch found out that from 12 trials conducted, "75% (three-quarters) of participants conformed to wrong answers provided at least once", while 25% did not conform at all.

He also discovered that on average of the trials carried out, one-third of the participants went along with the incorrect answer provided by the confederates.

Asch had also set up a control experiment with only a single participant and no confederates.

From the control experiment, he realized that less than 1% provided the wrong answer to the question asked.

3.6.46-T Consider the following sample data for two variables. x 7 8 5 3 9 y 7 5 9 7 7 a. Calculate the sample covariance. b. Ca
Mrac [35]

Answer:

1. Co-variance= -1.2

2. correlation coefficient= -0.4404

3.  There is weak negative relationship between x and y.

Explanation:

1.

Co-variance= Cov(x,y)= sum[(x-xbar)(y-ybar)]/n

xbar=sumx/n=32/5=6.4

ybar=sumy/n=35/5=7

x 7 8 5 3 9

x-xbar 0.6 1.6 -1.4 -3.4 2.6

y 7 5 9 7 7

y-ybar 0 -2 2 0 0

(x-xbar)(y-ybar) 0 -3.2 -2.8 0 0

Cov(x,y)= sum[(x-xbar)(y-ybar)]/n=-6/5=-1.2

Cov(x,y)=-1.2

2.

correlation coefficient=r

r=\frac{sum(x-xbar)(y-ybar)}{\sqrt{sum(x-xbar)^2sum(y-ybar)^2} }

x 7 8 5 3 9

x-xbar 0.6 1.6 -1.4 -3.4 2.6

y 7 5 9 7 7

y-ybar 0 -2 2 0 0

(x-xbar)(y-ybar) 0 -3.2 -2.8 0 0

(x-xbar)² 0.36 2.56 1.96 11.56 6.76

(y-ybar)²  0 4 4 0 0

r=\frac{-6}{\sqrt{23.2(8)} }

r=-0.4404

3. Since the value of correlation coefficient is negative and less than 0.5 , so, we can say that there is weak negative relationship between x and y.
