Choose all the answers that apply. Confirmation bias ___.

1 answer:

8 0

Confirmation bias "is caused by other people's ideas and opinions about a subject". (Answer D).

It is a common problem and occurs when a person seeks out evidence to support their preconceived opinions or views on a particular topic. This causes the 'bias' in the term 'confirmation bias' as the person is seeking to reinforce their preexisting view, rather than accept a more probable outcome. A classic example would be climate change skeptics seeking out source material that is anti-climate change in spite of overwhelming international consensus over the core aspects of climate change from the global scientific community. A person who seeks out and depends for their opinion on a very small component of the available evidence and chooses to ignore the mainstream literature is someone who has succumbed to confirmation bias.

All ball is thrown up with a vertical velocity of 54 m/s and a horizontal velocity of 39 m/s. Calculate how many seconds it will

VikaD [51]

5.5 s

Explanation:

The time it takes for the ball to reach its maximum height can be calculated using

$v_y = v_{0y} - gt \Rightarrow t = \dfrac{v_{0y}}{g}$

since $v_y = 0$ at the top of its trajectory. Plugging in the numbers,

$t = \dfrac{(54\:\text{m/s})}{(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)} = 5.5\:\text{s}$

The heat moves from the hot chocolate to the handle of the spoon by a process called thermal conduction.

Kamal, Kamala, Krishna invert a sum of RS= 30,000 on a business in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5. Find the each of their investment.

Crazy boy [7]

Here's the solution,

Let the shares be 2x, 3x and 5x according to their shared investment ratio,

now, we know :

=》2x + 3x + 5x = 30000

=》10x = 30000

=》x = 3000

So, value of x = 3000

hence, the share of each shareholder is :

kamal = 2x = 6000
kamala = 3x = 9000
Krishna = 5x = 15000

i hope it helped.....
