Answer:

1/6 of the students in Robert's grade have both a sister and a brother.

Explanation:

Let x be the number of total students in Robert's grade.

It is given that In Robert's grade, 1/3 of the students have a sister.

Number of students have a sister = \frac{1}{3}\times x=\frac{x}{3}

Of the students who have a sister, 1/2 also have a brother.

Number of students have both a sister and a brother = \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{x}{3}=\frac{x}{6}

We need to find the fraction of the students in Robert's grade have both a sister and a brother.

\frac{\frac{x}{6}}{x}=\frac{1}{6}

Therefore, 1/6 of the students in Robert's grade have both a sister and a brother.

What is your personal definition of learning? How do your ideas about learning compare with the definition of learning presented
algol [13]

Answer:

The answer to this question, and especially the text that your question aludes to, can be found on the lumenlearning website, and it says this: that all beings have a three-step process of learning that explains how an organism develops the capacities to behave and act accordingly, depending on the conditions around it. These three steps are: classical conditioning (Pavlovian conditioning), operant conditioning, and finally, observation. All organisms go through these steps to learn how to behave and act in an environment.

Classical conditioning is simply the way that an organism is taught how to respond by association. As an organism experiences its environment, it observes different events and learns how to associate cause and consequence, or responses, to stimuli. During operant conditioning, an organism also associates and also learns that producing a behavior brings either reward, or punishment, and observation is how an organism learns to act through observation and imitation of others.

To me, learning is a much more complex process, in which, all the experiences taken in by an organism, the environment, and also genetics, play all a role together in the way this organism processes all and acquires knowledge and produces responses to that knowledge. But I agree with these theories that all organisms go through steps. You see it with babies. They first learn to act through what they observe, but as intelligent and sapient beings, they too can learn to produce behavior outside of what was observed, or conditioned in them. So, in animals and other beings the three steps mentioned above might work, but not necessarily in humans.

What was the primary cause of the deteriorating relationship between u.s and the soviet union?
ruslelena [56]

Answer: Relations between the Soviet Union and the United States were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. The distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the Cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.

Who is the psychologist that used a trial-and-error approach to psychological measurement that continues to serve as the predomi
Gnoma [55]

Binet psychologist that used a trial-and-error approach to psychological measurement that continues to serve as the predominant approach to test construction today.

<h3>What is Binet psychologist ?</h3>

The domain of intelligence testing was the focus of Binet's most important contributions to psychology. In contrast to his contemporaries, Binet promoted a functional, multidimensional definition of intelligence that prioritized thinking, rejecting the measurement of physical characteristics or a single element as an assessment of intelligence.

<h3>What is the trial and error method of learning?</h3>

Thus, using the trial and error method, the learner engages in random activities before accidentally achieving the desired outcome. One thing to keep in mind is that there are frequently systematic and pertinent reactions even in trial and error.

<h3>Why are some psychological constructs not directly observable?</h3>

Psychological constructs such as intelligence, self-esteem, and depression are variables that are not directly observable because they represent behavioral tendencies or complex patterns of behavior and internal processes.
