Answer:

According to social comparison theory, Barbara appears to have engaged in downward comparison.

Explanation:

According to Leon Festinger's Theory of Social Comparison, we commonly compare ourselves to people who are similar to us. We do that with the purpose of making accurate self-evaluations. However, a type of comparison known as downward comparison happens when we do not look at those who are similar to us. Instead, we compare ourselves to people who are in an inferior, more unfortunate position. That is a way we find to feel better about ourselves. This is what Barbara has done. She only knows the grades of two other classmates - one did better, one did worse than she did. Yet, she has chosen to think she has done really well relative to others in the class. Barbara has clearly chosen to ignore the one got an A, comparing herself to the one who got a C.

A data analyst wants to organize a database to show only the 100 most recent real estate sales in stamford, connecticut. How can
S_A_V [24]

It will be simple to keep in touch and send pertinent, interesting stuff if the database is well arranged.

The database should be organized by contact type as one of the primary methods. Marketing to the contacts is much simpler when you know who they are. One knows the drill: buyer, seller, sphere, former client, referral. There's a good likelihood that each contact will receive more than one type. Sort the contacts into groups based on the properties they currently own or intend to purchase. One can then share information with them that is pertinent to them. For instance, one will be the first to alert condo buyers when a new property hits the market that matches their preferences. Many claims that the most crucial aspect of real estate is location. It's important to consider the neighborhood, surrounding schools, walkability, and facilities.

To learn more about the database refer to:

Describe a theme park ride that has a constant speed but changing velocity?
-BARSIC- [3]
Well,

Let's just say that the Jaguar! (a certain ride in Knott's) could instantly go from zero speed to, let's say, 40 mph, and vice versa.  We know (if you have ridden it) that the Jaguar! is not a straight line, as you can't say that it is always traveling at 40 mph due north (otherwise it would never be able to make a loop)!

Remember that, since velocity is a vector quantity, a change in direction will constitute a change in velocity.
