Complete Question: Laura picks up her phone one evening to find that the Microsoft help desk was calling. She had been having trouble with a slow running computer but hadn't yet contacted Microsoft to get help for the problem. She was so pleased to hear that they found her IP address online and found malware on her computer and they were calling all of their clients to remove it. Laura has previously been a victim of a phishing scheme so she was prepared not to give any information to the help desk just incase they weren't legitimate but they didn't ask for her credit card information or Social security number. She figured they were going to help.

A phishing scam is a fraudulent activity that involves keeping a false website or sending a false e-mail with the intent of masquerading as a trustworthy entity in order to acquire sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details.

Seeing all the details in the website made Laura remember her previous experience which was a phishing scam.

In western societies, the typical family form is the _____, composed of married parents and their biological or adopted children
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Nuclear family.

Explanation:

A nuclear family typically composes of a husband and wife (married parents) with kids (whether biological or adopted).

While nuclear families percentage has been on a decline through history, it is still the dominant form of family, making up ~18% of all households in more current US history. The downward shift can be attributed to the <em>shift of beliefs against the nuclear family</em>, in which new cultures such as hookup culture and the destruction of traditional masculinity and femininity traits have led to the failure of the man to stay to provide, and causing the single-parent family to spike drastically. The uptick in LGBTQ+ have further led to the deflation of nuclear family levels, and have seen a decline of birthrate by 2-4%.On top of decline in birthrates, families outside of the nuclear family typically see a large percentage of increase in crimes, with single-parent homes seeing a 10% increase for the child to commit crimes.  When people think of non-nuclear families, they typically think of the LGBTQ+ movement, which sees a 5% incarceration rate, <em>2 points higher than the average population.</em>

When one changes the significance level of a hypothesis test from 0.01 to 0.05, which of the following will happen? Check all th
jekas [21]

Answer:

B) The chance of committing a Type I error changes from 0.01 to 0.05., E) The test becomes less stringent to reject the null hypothesis (i.e., it becomes easier to reject the null hypothesis), therefore. C) It becomes harder to prove that the null hypothesis is true and G) The chance that the null hypothesis is true changes from 0.01 to 0.05 are all correct answers

Explanation:

The alfa error or type I, refers to the probability error of rejecting the null hypothesis, when it is true, it is the chance of mistake when affirming that an association exists between two variables tested as a cause of an effect on something. i.e: H1: fast food is responsible for diabetes (this is working hypothesis), H0: red hair is responsible for diabetes (this is the null hypothesis). The beta error or type II is related to the size of the sample, it is the chance of accepting something (the null hypothesis) when it is false, depends mostly on having enough measures (or persons under study) so your hypothesis can be proven and be a real representation of the population under study. The statistical significance, namely the p value, can be narrow (p=0.01) or wide (p=0.05), it can be easily understand if we explain it in terms of percentage: you can have 99% (p=0.01) of certainty to affirm that the null hypothesis (the one that you do not believe is true, in the example, red hair as cause of diabetes) is actually wrong or 95% (p=0.05) of certainty to affirm that the null hypothesis (again, the one that you do not believe is true) is actually wrong.
