Answer:

They both started with 500 dollars and saved for 6 weeks.

Explanation:

We can observe that the difference in the amount of money saved per week is 25 dollars. (you save 75 dollars and your friend saves 50 dollars)

When vacation time comes, you have 950 dollars and your friend has 800. There is a difference of 150 dollars. Therefore <u>we have to divide the difference of amount per week by the total difference to find how many weeks have passed:</u>

150 / 25 = 6

Therefore, when vacation time has arrived, there have been 6 weeks since you and your friend started to save.

  1. Now, 6 weeks saving $75 per week would give you $450 dollars, but if you finish with $950 dollars, you'd have to subtract these amounts to see how much you started with.

950 - 450 = 500.

Therefore, you started with $500 dollars.

  1. On the other hand, your friend saved $50 dollars per week for 6 weeks, so she saved a total of $300. If she finished with 800 dollars then she started with:

800 - 300 = 500.

Therefore, she started with $500 dollars.

5Cars are different today than they were 8 years ago in a sense that they are faster, more efficient, and better designed.

6They are different because of the time frame they were built in. Scientific discoveries advanced technology and the understanding of physics.

7One tradeoff in car design was that instead of being made of heavier materials that could withstand harsh crashes, in order to make the cars faster, they were designed with lighter more bendable materials which in turn made the cars faster.

8Cell phones are an example of something positive and negative. They are useful for communicating and are connections to the worlds largest information source. Unfortunately, cell phones can cause eyes to deteriorate, as well as disfiguring posture. But overall, the good side outweighs the bad.

9Iterative testing is a process of basing tests on insights gleaned from previous tests to make changes gradually and that are evidence based. Iterative testing is an important component of conversion rate optimisation. It allows a site to evolve over time with small steps rather than a large redesign.

Explanation:

The constraints are what keep you from doing anything with the task that your given, but the criteria are the requirements needed for the task at hand too function or happen the way it was designed to.

A(n) _________________ schedule of reinforcement is used when a person is learning a new behavior.
Artist 52 [7]

A continuous schedule of reinforcement is used when a person is learning a new behavior.

<h3>What is reinforcement?</h3>

In behavioral psychology, reinforcement can be perceived as the  consequence  that is been utilized to  strengthen an organism's future behavior  in a case where behavior is preceded by a specific antecedent stimulus.

It should be noted that continuous schedule of reinforcement is used when a person is learning a new behavior since the  strengthening effect may be measured as a higher frequency of behavior.
