Answer:

(D) Both can be convicted of murder.

Explanation:

The common law of murder refers to the murderous act of taking someone's life regardless of the intention. This criminal act is an element of malice aforethought, terming any criminal act with predetermined intent as common law.

In the case of Sally and Ralph, though the ricocheting bullet was not intended. their predetermined intent in robbing the bank means they are culpable of ac crime. And in that course of action, the accidental killing of one of the bank's customers makes them guilty of the crime of murder.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Belief perseverance is the correct answer.

Belief perseverance, also known as belief persistence, is the tendency that a person has of maintaining one's belief even when there are enough evidences that firmly contradicts it.

Which of the following applies to random sampling? Group of answer choices a) The sample may be larger than the population. b) O
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

 d)

Explanation:

A simple random sample is a subset of a statistical population in which each member of the subset has an equal probability of being chosen. It also has the characteristic that a simple random sample is meant to be an unbiased representation of a group.

In a simple random sample, the sample is always smaller than the population (since it's a subset of it).

There are also two kinds of random sample, one with replacement (in which the same element is put back into the population and it can be taken for the sample again, thus is being selected more than once) and one without replacement (in which every element can only be selected once).

There is no really a standard size for each sample as long as it is smaller than the population, however, smaller samples can tend to reduce reliability and therefore can bias our experiment so they are not recommend. Also the idea of the sample is that we can generalize our observations into the general population and this can happen with larger samples.

Thus, the characteristics that apply to random sampling are:

d) All observations in the population are equally likely to be selected into the sample.
