The authors of the paper "Fudging the Numbers: Distributing Chocolate Influences Student Evaluations of an Undergraduate Course"

† carried out a study to see if events unrelated to an undergraduate course could affect student evaluations. Students enrolled in statistics courses taught by the same instructor participated in the study. All students attended the same lectures and one of six discussion sections that met once a week. At the end of the course, the researchers chose three of the discussion sections to be the "chocolate group." Students in these three sections were offered chocolate prior to having them fill out course evaluations. Students in the other three sections were not offered chocolate. The researchers concluded that "Overall, students offered chocolate gave more positive evaluations than students not offered chocolate." Indicate whether the study is an observational study or an experiment. Give a brief explanation for your choice.

The study is an experimental study – not an observational one. This is clear from how the research methodology is explained in the question. An observational study would not have a manipulated variable – while manipulation of a variable (usually independent variable) is crucial for experimental research.

The manipulated variable in the research study is the chocolate offer, with two possible treatments – given chocolate, or not given chocolate. Based on the conducted research it is clear that the group of students who were offered chocolate gave more positive evaluations for the course than the group of students who weren’t offered chocolate.

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

1- The proposal would be to improve education in Brazil through full-time school education, where children and teenagers could have different classes and courses, such as courses in foreign languages ​​and professional training, with monetary incentives for children who got good grades.

2- The main challenges foreseen for the inclusion of the integral school in Brazil could be population adhesion, lack of funds and legislative bureaucracy. Such challenges could culminate in school dropouts, lack of resources to hire new professionals, school structure and materials, in addition to a long delay in the approval of the educational change project.

3- The difficulty of solving social problems in any society is a complex task because such problems occur for structural reasons that would impact the way that society organizes itself politically, socially and culturally. There are also institutional problems such as political corruption that makes it difficult to develop a fairer and more egalitarian society for the entire population.

What type of scientific poll is needed to produce the most accurate results when polling?
mote1985 [20]
The appropriate response is  Random sample. A simple random sample is a subset of a measurable populace in which every individual from the subset has an equivalent likelihood of being picked. A case of a basic irregular specimen would be the names of 25 workers being picked out of a cap from an organization of 250 representatives.

For any Canadians that can help me out with this question I will appreciate it!!
Naily [24]

Answer: Canada’s fertility rates have not met the replacement rate of 2.1 needed for stable population growth since 1971. In addition, the life expectancy for Canadians has also increased by more than nine years. In short, Canadians are living longer and having fewer children and less frequently. Without a young population to replace retiring workers, there will be fewer working-age Canadians contributing to the workforce and economy. This imbalance puts pressure on the standards of living, slows economic growth, and creates numerous fiscal challenges. Immigration brings in young families and working-age newcomers. These newcomers fill workplace shortages and contribute positively to the economy. Unfortunately, immigration alone is not the solution to Canada’s ageing and retiring population.
