Answer:

Joel tries to go running with his friend Sam at least once a week, but hopes to start running more.

Explanation:

The question above is related to "The Stages of Change."

First Stage: Precontemplation

Second Stage: Contemplation

Third Stage: Determination

Fourth Stage: Action

Fifth Stage: Maintenance

Sixth Stage: Recurrence

The behavior showing maintenance is on the fifth stage. The person in this scenario has already achieved his goal to change. All he/she has to do is to maintain the behavior by developing the new skill. 

Among the choices above, it is only Joel who is showing such behavior because he is trying to develop his newfound skill of running by anticipating to run more in the future. This will allow him to prevent the occurrence of "relapse." It was also stated that he's already been running once a week with his friend, which means he has finally incorporated the change into his life.

A parametric test has more statistical power than non-parametric test. Some conditions of validity are required for the result of a parametric test to be reliable

3.Genetic disorders are diseases that are inherited. Sickle-cell anemia, cystic fibrosis, and Down syndrome are three common gen

olga2289 [7]

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that causes severe problems mainly on the respiratory system, but also on other organs such as the pancreas or the liver. It is an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning that an individual needs to inherit one copy of the gene from each parent in order to have the disease. The disorder is caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes the protein that participates in the transport salt intracellularly. This mutation causes a defect in the production of mucus, sweat and digestive fluid. In patients suffering from cystic fibrosis, these bodily fluids and the mucus are sticky and thick. This change in consistency causes severe damage to the respiratory and digestive systems.
