A cognitive psychologist studying reading comprehension wanted to know what would happen if all college students were taught bet

ter reading strategies. She obtained a sample of 40 college students from the introductory psychology class and taught 20 of them effective reading strategies. The other 20 students were given a placebo treatment. She then gave all 40 students a standardized reading comprehension test. The mean score on the reading test for those taught the reading strategies was 49, with a standard deviation of 4 The mean score for those receiving the placebo treatment was 44, with a standard deviation of 3.8. Identi the independent variable in this study.
A) scores on the reading comprchension test

Answer:

D.the treatment group (placebo or reading strategies)

Step-by-step explanation:

This cognitive psychologists wants to find out if better reading strategies when taught to students would have any effect on their test scores.

So the dependent variable in this experiment would be the test scores that she wants to find from the test.

While the independent variable would be the treatment group which is the placebo or treatment. The psychologist wants to measure outcomes in this dependent variable using changes in the independent variable (placebo/treatment).

In an experiment you do a chi-square test comparing observed and expected progeny. Your calculated chi square is 0.375. With 1 d
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

It mean that the observed progeny is similar than the expected progeny. There is no a relationship between the categorical variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Chi-squared test is used to test the relationship between categorical variables. A categorical variable is a non-numerical variable. The null hypothesis of the Chi-squared test is that categorical variables are independent; it means that the frequencies are not dependent on the variable. It is important to know that the Chi-squared test does not measure causality, it only measures the relationship. To reject the null hypothesis, you usually need a probability lower than 0.05, but in this case, the probability was way higher than 0.05, it was between 0.5 and 0.9.

You have $1,998.00 on a credit card with a 14.5% APR. You miss your minimum payment the first month and there is a late fee of $
Minchanka [31]
There are 2 parts to this question.  1. One would be to calculate the interest based on your balance and 2. then to add the late fee.  Use the formula i = prt to calculate your simple interest. <em>i</em> represents the interest you will pay, <em>p</em> stands for the principal (balance on your credit card), and <em>t</em> stands for the period of time (related to a period of a year/annual percentage rate).  The $1998 balance times 0.145 times 1/12 gives the interest amount of $24.14.  So, $1998 + $24.14 + $37 = $2059.14 balance.

If tan e = 1.3, what is the value of cot (90° - 9)?
ella [17]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

\tan(\theta)=1.3

And we want to find:

\cot(90^\circ -\theta)

Remember that tangent and cotangent are co-functions. In other words, they follow the cofunction identities:

\tan(\theta)=\cot(90^\circ-\theta)\text{ and } \cot(90^\circ-\theta)=\tan(\theta)

Therefore, since tan(θ) = 1.3 and cot(90° - θ) = tan(θ), then cot(90° - θ) must also be 1.3.

Our answer is A.
