We ask each student being surveyed to toss a coin in private. If the coin lands "heads," they are to answer the question, "Have

you plagiarized a term paper?" truthfully. If the coin lands "tails," they are told always to answer "yes," whether they have in fact plagiarized or not. Imagine that the true fraction of students who have plagiarized is in fact 0.3, and imagine that participants in the survey indeed follow the randomized response procedure accurately and honestly. What is the conditional probability that a randomly chosen student who answers "yes" to the survey has in fact plagiarized

Answer:

Conditional probability of a student, who has actually plagiarized, answering "yes" to the survey is 0.375.

Explanation:

This is easily explanined if we first take the probability of each answer (yes / no) depending on what they fet flipping the coin.

  • Tails [always yes] = 0.5 ->  Plagiarism = 0.5
  • Heads  [yes or no] = 0.5 > Two option: (1) True Plagiarism = 0.3; (2) False Pagiarism = 0.7

Now, what we have to do is multiply the "yes" answers from both possible coin tosses (0.5 x 0.3) and divide them by the rest of probable answers (0.5, 0.5, 0.5 & 0.3).

Better expressed like this:

                                             0. 5 x 0.3 / 0.3x0.5+0.5x0.5 = 0.375

If Dr. Maple is a behaviorist, he would most likely believe that the cause of a child's disruptive behavior in school is the result of "his prior experiences".

Behaviorism, otherwise called behavioral psychology, is a hypothesis of learning which base their idea that all practices are gained through conditioning. This happens through association with the surroundings. Behaviorists trust that our reactions to environmental stimuli shape our activities. Behaviorism is concerned about how ecological factors influence recognizable conduct.

Sedaia [141]

Answer:B) can make a difference even for victims of torture-if the person feels he or she has some control, he or she tends to be less affected by the stressor over the long term.

Explanation:

The feeling of control over any situation makes a person not feel like a victim at all times because they feel convinced that they can only be a victim of they think they are a victim but they have the power to not think like that and not feel like that. One can defy the odds through being in control and overpowering what ever situation that might have affected them as long as they know they have control over it.
