Answer:

Tiffany tried to use the trolley problem to explain certain biases. Basically, the trolley problem is a scenario where a trolley is moving to hit five helpless people and only one person has seen it and can alter its direction to sacrifice one person to save the other helpless four people. Which person would be sacrificed so the other four will be safe? That's the trolley problem.

Tiffany believes there is no correct answer or way to measure who will be sacrificed to keep the remaining four safe.

She believes the trolley problem is a good way to study biases as it is something we try to hide or may not even be fully aware how they influence our decisions.

Tiffany went one step further and surveyed about 300 people by asking them what they would do in the trolley problem.

Tiffany varied identities of the woman waiting on the track. The woman was rich sometimes, wearing a suit or carrying a briefcase, some other times she wore a waitress uniform, or just very attractive, other times she was just ordinary looking, in another scenario, the woman was on a wheelchair.

From her poll results, if the woman appeared wealthy, only about 24% of her participants would sacrifice her, if she was dressed as a waitress, 59% of the people offered to sacrifice her to save the others, if she was attractive, 44% of the people would sacrifice her, 68% of the people offered to sacrifice the ordinary looking lady, 54% of the people would sacrifice the woman standing and the number rose to 74% if the woman was on a wheelchair.

Tiffany observed that society tended to value some lives as less than others and it doesn't make the society look very nice.

The theme of "The Luster of Lost Things" is seeking out one's inner truth in the urban, alienated world. The hero of the book is a young boy, Walter Lavender, whose speech disorder has rendered him incapable of communicating with other people, and has resulted in many limitations that he imposed upon himself. He sets off to accomplish a mission of finding a lost book from his mother's shop. This journey will set him free and teach him many hidden truths about himself and the world.

Discuss any five justification of sample size in business research.​
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Sample size refers to the number of observations that will be included in a statistical sample.

A sample is a collection of objects, individuals or phenomena selected from a statistical population usually by a given procedure.

The sample size affects the following:

  1. Confidence and Margin of Error - The more a population is varied, the higher the unreliability of the calculations or estimates. In the same vein, as the sample size increases, we have more information. The more information we have, the less we error or uncertainty we have.
  2. Power and Effect Size  - Upping the sample size enables one to detect variances. Put differently, on the balance of probability, an average obtained on a larger sample size will exceed the average real than average collected on a smaller sample size.
  3. Size Versus Resources - An overtly large sample will lead to a waste of resources that are already scarce and (where human subjects are involved) could expose them unecessarily to related risks.
  4. A study should only be carried out only if, on the balance of probability, there is a fair chance that the study will produce useful information.
  5. Variableness - Population Sampling makes room for variableness. Variableness ensures that every member of the population has a probability of being represented in the sample.

Cheers!
