Answer:

lawyer will be late for at least 17 days

Explanation:

given,

average time for a one way trip = 24 minutes

standard deviation = 3.8 minute

Z = \dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(of late) = P(x>20 min)

 = P(Z>\dfrac{20-24}{3.8}) = P(z>-1.05)

= 0.5 + 0.3531

= 0.8531 = 85.31 %                    

days lawyer would be late for work

 = n p = 20 × 0.8531 = 17.062 days

hence, lawyer will be late for at least 17 days during a period of 20 work day.

Predict what would happen if the same experiment was conducted with different amounts of water.
Mama L [17]

Hello. You did not present the experiment to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

It is likely that the amount of water presented in the question above is a variable in the experiment. This allows us to consider that if the experiment were carried out with different amounts of water, this experiment would provide inaccurate data and the results would not be considered true, making it impossible for a precise conclusion to be revealed.

This would happen because an experiment must distribute the variables, in all treatments, with the same amount and intensity. Therefore, to promote accurate data, the experiment must use an equal amount of water in all treatments.

Madeline is working to teach her 4 year old daughter, Eliza, how to count. She places 10 buttons in one row with very little spa
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

This is an example of Centration.

Explanation:

Centration is a term used in developmental psychology, specifically when using Piaget's theory of cognitive development. According to this theory children go through different stages of cognitive development and these are linked to the child's age. From ages 4 to 7, children are in the preoperational stage, and centration is a process that presents itself in this stage. It is the children's tendency to focus only on one salient aspect of a problem, situation or object. One of the most common aspects young children who are in this stage of cognitive development focus on is on the space an object occupies, for example, size or length.

In this case Eliza doesn't focus on the number of buttons in each row. Even though she knows that 10 is more than 8, when put in two different rows, she only focuses on the length of both rows, and because the one with 8 buttons is longer, she will inevitably choose that one.
