The situation described is an example of classical conditioning because a stimulus (Scut Farkas laughs) causes a specific reaction (fear in the other characters)
<h3>What is classical conditioning?</h3>
Classical conditioning is a scientific theory that focused on the study of a type of associative learning developed by Ivan Pávlov.
Classical conditioning posits that an external stimulus can generate a specific response in an individual or group depending on whether it has associated both factors, for example:
- A dog makes a response (in this case, salivation) to a stimulus (the bell indicating food). The next time he heard the bell, regardless of whether it was attached to the food, he would begin to salivate.
Based on the above, it can be inferred that the situation described is an example of classical conditioning because the characters associate Scut Farkas' laughter with a feeling of fear.

According to a different source, this question refers to the text "The Chinese Civil Service Exam System” by Ichisada Miyazaki.
In this text, we learn that the Chinese civil service examination system originated in Ancient China nearly fourteen hundred years ago. Therefore, it is one of the oldest examination systems in the world.
The system was intended to identify the most capable young men in China, and educate them so that they might become part of the government. However, this was a long, difficult and tedious process, and many students and tutors found useful shortcuts to learning. For example, rapid-study methods were devised, such as compiled collections of examination answers.
The Chinese government was aware of such methods, which were strongly condemned. Students who employed them were failed. The government also issued frequent prohibitions of the publication of such materials. However, the success of the business meant that such prohibitions were often unsuccessful.
According to the result of the test statistic, the p-values are given by:
a) 0.0352.
b) 0.9648.
c) 0.0704.
<h3>How to find the p-value of a test?</h3>
It depends on the test statistic z, as follows.
- For a left-tailed test, it is the area under the normal curve to the left of z, which is the <u>p-value of z</u>.
- For a right-tailed test, it is the area under the normal curve to the right of z, which is <u>1 subtracted by the p-value of z.</u>
- For a two-tailed test, it is the area under the normal curve to the left of -z combined with the area to the right of z, hence it is <u>2 multiplied by 1 subtracted by the p-value of z.</u>
In this problem, the test statistic is z = 1.8, which has a p-value of 0.9648.
Item a:
Right-tailed test, hence the p-value is of 1 - 0.9648 = 0.0352.
Item b:
Left-tailed test, hence the p-value is of 0.9648.
Item c:
Two-tailed test, hence the p-value is of 2 x (1 - 0.9648) = 2 x 0.0352 = 0.0704.
