The correct answer is D. Everyone has the same chance of being part of the study

Explanation:

In research, especially in types of research that deal with human subjects, it is common the researcher does not study a complete population but selects a sample or portion of it that is used to draw conclusions about all the population. Additionally, a sample can be selected in many ways following specific criteria but in general terms random sample is recommended for many cases which implies the researcher select people to study randomly or by following methods without a pattern or criteria. In this way, the participants selected are more likely to represent all the population as researches do not select participants with only certain features but everyone has the same chance of being selected and this usually guarantees there is variety in the study. Therefore, the reason random sample is an effective way to select participants is that everyone has the same chance of being part of the study.

Describe a relief sculpture.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Relief is the type of statue that is attached to the background.

The Peloponnesian war was bad for both sides as they suffer great losses and were must more vulnerable to outside attacks.

Explanation:

Relief sculpture is the art form of a non-freestanding sculpture. It is the sculpture presentation attached to the background from which it can’t be separated. The sculpture part “pops out” of the background, and it can be completely attacked, just a tiny bit getting out of the background, or nearly wholly out, but still partly attached. Relief sculptures were often used in ancient art and they were found on many of the Greek temples, presenting various scenes from mythology and history.

Peloponnesian War affected all of Greece and not just Athens which have lost the war. Back in ancient times, Greece wasn’t a singular country under the same government. There were many separate city-states with their own policies but connected with the same belief and language, so they would gather in the case of a foreign attack.

However, the Peloponnesian war affected both Athens and Sparta – both city-states lost many people, many troops, as well as land. While Athens was completely crushed and deprived of its pre-war greatness, both cities suffered losses. They were poorer than before and very crush with the losses. Their mutual protection was also affected. In the case of the foreign attack, they wouldn’t (and couldn’t) protect each other, so they were both very vulnerable and prone to outside attacks.
