Extraneous

An <em>extraneous variable</em> is a variable in an experiment that you are not intentionally studying. These variables usually provide undesired affects on the experiment.

In this example, the independent variable is whether a sentence is humorous or not, and the dependent variable is the memory performance score. However, because the humorous sentences are only given to males, and the non-humorous sentences are only given to females, gender becomes an extraneous variable as you are not intentionally testing gender's relation to the dependent variable, but it is still affecting the experiment.

Wewaii [24]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

A pesar de que no hay opciones o incisos para responder, podemos comentar lo siguiente.

El antecedente históricos del conflicto entre Argentina y el Reino Unido con respecto a las Malvinas fue el siguiente.

Ambos países, Argentina y Gran Bretaña, reconocían a las Malvinas como su territorio. Los Ingleses afirmaban que ellos lo habían descubierto y les pertenecía. Por otro lado, Argentina decía que por su proximidad geográfica con el territorio Argentino y la lejanía de las Malvinas de Inglaterra, esas islas debían pertenecer a la Argentina.

El conflicto escaló y llegó hasta la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU), quien reconoció ese territorito como en disputa internacional.

Cabe mencionar que hasta ese momento, Gran Bretaña era quien administraba esas islas.

Por esa razón, Argentina decidió invadir las Malvinas en abril de 1982, acto que hizo que Inglaterra mandara a su flota Naval para recuperar las Malvinas.

La Marina Británica desembarcó en las islas en 21 de mayo de 1982, y se inició la guerra con la Batalla de San Carlos.
