Biology

In some types of research the target population might be as broad as all humans, but in other types of research the target population might be a smaller group such as teenagers, pre-school children or people who misuse drugs.

It is more or less impossible to study every single person in a target population so psychologists select a sample or sub-group of the population that is likely to be representative of the target population we are interested in.

This is important because we want to generalize from the sample to target population. The more representative the sample, the more confident the researcher can be that the results can be generalized to the target population.

One of the problems that can occur when selecting a sample from a target population is sampling bias. Sampling bias refers to situations where the sample does not reflect the characteristics of the target population.

The relative humidity would be ________% if the actual water vapor in the air was 10 grams per cubic meter, the air's capacity t
lys-0071 [83]

Answer: The Relative humidity is 50%

Explanation: Relative humidity is the ratio of the air’s water vapour content (the actual amount of water vapour in the air) to its water vapour capacity at a given temperature. It depends on temperature and the pressure of the system of interest and it is usually expressed in PERCENTAGE; the higher the percentage, the more humid the air/water mixture.

The formula of Relative humidity (%) = (water vapor content / water vapor capacity) x 100%

Where: Water vapour content is the actual amount of water vapour in the air. Which is 10g/cm³ from the question above;

Water vapour capacity is the air's capacity to hold water vapour. Which is 20g/cm³ from the question above.

Therefore, RH(%)= (10g/cm³ / 20g/cm³) x 100 = 0.5 x 100= 50%

This means that the air contains half of the water vapour it could hold at 20 degree Celsius.

List some ways a DNA strand is similar to a ladder
ruslelena [56]
A DNA molecule is like a ladder because there are two sides (the sugar-phosphate backbones of the two strands) and rungs (each rung being a pair of complementary bases). Twisted, because the molecule is twined in a coil called a helix - or rather, a double helix because there are two strands.
