Answer:

Alaska

Explanation:

On March 30, 1867, US Secretary of State William H. Seward agreed to buy Alaska from Russia for about $ 7.2 million. We may even consider that the price the Americans paid was a “bargain” when considering the approximate area of 1 600 000 km² of land acquired.

The main reason why the rulers wanted this land so badly was that its annexation would increase the size of the US by almost 20%. After many conversations and discussions that supposedly took a whole night, the United States and Russia finally signed the deal at dawn on March 30.

To measure whether older people are calmer than younger people, a researcher gives 20-year-olds, 40-year-olds, and 60-year-olds

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

d. cross-sectional study

Explanation:

In research, a cross-sectional study consists of a gathering of data from a population or a subset of the population we want to investigate at an specific point of time. In other words, the data will give us an idea of what's happening within a group in a particular moment in time.

In this example, the researcher gives 20-year-olds, 40-year-olds, and 60-year-olds a questionnaire. He wants to know if older people are calmer than younger ones. We can see that he wants to know what's happening within this groups (the 20 year-olds, the 40's and the 60's) during this particular time of their life and therefore determine if the 60 year-olds are calmer. Therefore this is an example of cross-sectional study.
