7 0

Ghana was the African nation that handled all the trades between the traders of the north and the traders of the south. The south traders brought with them the gold that was available in the south while the traders of the north brought with them the salt from the salt mines. Ghana taxed both type of traders in return for protecting the traders from the hand of the bandits. Ghana itselt did not have either the salt mines or the gold mines. Taxing the traders from the north helped Ghana gather the required salt. Ghana started the Brter system of 1 ounce gold for 1 ounce of salt.

Yes, because one system would have to much power and be able to have full control and do whatever they want. This would lead to corruption and tyranny.

Which descriptive research method allows a psychologist to draw cause-and-effect conclusions?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

<span>To draw cause and effect conclusions, one needs to conduct a formal experiment, sometimes called a control experiment. The independent variable in this type of experiment is the only thing that is allowed to changed so the experimenter is able to conclude that the it is the independent variable which affected the dependent variable. In other words the independent variable effects the dependent variable, and it is the only thing that can effect the dependent variable. This is not true in correlational experiments. Remember the oft repeated phrase that correlation does not mean causation. In other words, a lot of people carry umbrellas on a rainy day (there is a correlation between rainy days and people carrying umbrellas) but the umbrella carrying people did not cause the rain.</span>
