A high school teacher conducted a test of a new approach to teaching math. Students were given a pretest when their math class b

egan and a posttest at the end of the semester. The students' math performance improved. The teacher learned near the end of the semester, however, that in their science classes the students were using new computer software that included much of the math the teacher covered in his course. What threats to internal validity does the new computer software represent?

Answer:

It represents a threat of instrument change.

Explanation:

Internal validity is a method to determine if research has been performed properly. It is based on the number of confounding variables present in the experiment. If an experiment is carried out and confounding variables are avoided, the internal validity is high, and viceversa. In an ideal context, the experiment's internal validity will be high, which will mean its results will be trustworthy.

The students, by making use of a computer software, lowered the validity of the test performed by the teacher.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Here is the JAVA program:

public class Main {  //class name

public static void main(String[] args) {   //start of main method

//sets all boolean type variables spades, hearts diamonds and clubs to false initially

   boolean spades = false;  

   boolean hearts = false;

   boolean diamonds = false;

   boolean clubs = false;  

   String[] deck = new String[4];  //to store card sequence

   int index = 0;  //to store index position

   int NoOfPicks = 0;  //to store number of picks (picks count)

   while (!spades || !hearts || !diamonds || !clubs) {   //loop starts

       String card = printCard(getRandomCard());  //calls printCard method by passing getRandomCard method as argument to it to get the card

       NoOfPicks++;   //adds 1 to pick count

       if (card.contains("Spades") && !spades) {  //if that random card is a card of Spades and spades is not false

           deck[index++] = card;  //add that card to the index position of deck

           spades = true;  //sets spades to true

       } else if (card.contains("Hearts") && !hearts) {  //if that random card is a card of Hearts and hearts is not false

           deck[index++] = card;  

           hearts = true;   //sets hearts to true

       } else if (card.contains("Diamond") && !diamonds) {  //if that random card is a card of Diamond and diamonds is not false

           deck[index++] = card;

           diamonds = true;  //sets diamonds to true

       } else if (card.contains("Clubs") && !clubs) {  if that random card is a card of Clubs and clubs is not false

           deck[index++] = card;

           clubs = true;         }     }   //sets clubs to true

   for (int i = 0; i < deck.length; i++) {  //iterates through the deck i.e. card sequence array

       System.out.println(deck[i]);     }  //prints the card number in deck

   System.out.println("Number of picks: " + NoOfPicks);  }   //prints number of picks

public static int getRandomCard() {  //gets random card

   return (int) (Math.random() * 52); }   //generates random numbers of 52 range

public static String printCard(int cardNo) {   //displays rank number and suit

   String[] suits = { "Spades", "Hearts", "Diamonds", "Clubs", };  //array of suits

   String[] rankCards = { "Ace", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10",

           "Jack", "Queen", "King" };   //array of rank

  int suitNo = cardNo / 13;  //divides card number by 13 and stores to suitNo

 int rankNo = cardNo % 13;   //takes modulo of card number and 13 and store it to rankNo

   return rankCards[rankNo] + " of " + suits[suitNo];  }}  //returns rankCard at rankNo index and suits at suitNo index

Explanation:

The program is explained in the comments attached with each line of code. The screenshot of the program along with its output is attached.
