9/24+4/24=13/24
Paula spent 13/24 of her allowance on other items.
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the expression:
U = E * P
The equality symbol “ = “ means that for all cases, the
value of U and E * P must always be equal. This means that whatever happens on
the left side, must equally happen on the right side.
So what this actually means is that, if we double U so we
must also double the expression E * P, that is:
2 U = 2 (E * P)
However since P stays constant in the process, therefore
only E is changed, hence:
2 U = P * 2 E
So we can see that E is also doubled.
When thinking about reinforcement, always remember that the end result is to try to increase the behavior, whereas punishment procedures are used to decrease behavior. For positive reinforcement, try to think of it as adding something positive in order to increase a response.
