Answer: The opportunity cost of an item is what you give up to get that item. In this case, Pat's opportunity cost of making a pizza is the amount of root beer she gives up brewing. Making a pizza takes her 2 hours; if instead she spent her time producing root beer, she would produce 2 gal * (1 gal rb/ 4 hrs)=1/2 gallon . Similar calculations yield an opportunity cost of 2/3 gallons of root beer for one pizza for Kris.

Pat Correct has an absolute advantage in making pizza, and Pat Correct has a comparative advantage in making pizza

Roger believes his infant daughter is going through very distinct stages of development and is suddenly, upon turning six months
shusha [124]

Answer:

The correct answer is: With the theory of discontinous development.

Explanation:

In developmental psychology, one of the most important questions is whether the individual's development is a continuous or discontinuous process.

The theorist's that argue that development occurs in a continuous manner propose that human development occurs as a gradual process across the life-span, whereas theorist's that believe that development occurs in a discontinuous manner argue that development occurs in stages, where individuals being able to elicit certain behaviors in certain clear and definite stages.

In this particular case, Roger believes his  infant daughter is going through very distinct stages of development and is suddenly, upon turning six months old, able to do far more than she could at 5½ months.

This perspective is consistent with the discontinuous approach to development.

Answer:

Content validity

Explanation:

Your friend, Tania, is asking your advice on her new study design. She is conducting a study on whether milk chocolate consumption prior to a memory task will improve recall performance as compared to consuming white chocolate. She decides to include three participants in each group. You tell her that she should likely have more participants or she will lack <u>content</u> validity.  Content validity has to do with whether your research subjects or respondents are representative of all aspect of your research construct. Increasing the sample size or the number of replicates per treatment increases the construct validity by increasing the degree of freedom and reducing experimental error. Increasing the sample size will make the study a  more representation of the entire study population.
