University of Phoenix Material Week Six Homework Exercise Answer the following questions‚ covering material from Ch. 12 of the Methods in Behavioral Research text: A researcher is studying reading rates in milliseconds per syllable. What scale of measurement—nominal‚ ordinal‚ interval‚ or ratio—is time in milliseconds? Explain your response. (1 point) The response time could be measured using the ratio scale that has an absolute zero measurement for time. Under what circumstances is

depression using the descriptive method. The researcher can start with case study; studying e an individual’s who has been diagnosed with a depression disorder. This way they could learn new things through this person’s actions. Moving on to the naturalistic observation to study a group of people with the same disorder. This study would be at natural as they could possibly make it. This would show them the different affect of depression on individuals. The correlation method can be used to study depression

"The Scientific Method is the process by which scientists‚ collectively and over time‚ endeavor to construct an accurate representation of the world. The scientific method attempts to minimize the influence of bias or prejudice in the experimenter when testing a hypothesis or a theory". Funny thing about the scientific method‚ the more research I did from web site to web site it became apparent to me that there are many views to actually how many steps there are in the process. For the purpose

CHAPTER 12 PRICING DECISIONS AND COST MANAGEMENT 12-1 The three major influences on pricing decisions are 1. Customers 2. Competitors 3. Costs 12-2 Not necessarily. For a one-time-only special order‚ the relevant costs are only those costs that will change as a result of accepting the order. In this case‚ full product costs will rarely be relevant. It is more likely that full product costs will be relevant costs for long-run pricing decisions. 12-3 Two examples of pricing decisions with

weighed and 50ml of water was added into the graduated cylinder. The graduated cylinder with water was weighed again to get its mass. For the density of a liquid other than water‚ a clean and dry 10ml graduated cylinder was weighed and 5.0ml of the different liquid samples (isopropyl alcohol‚ coconut oil and an unknown liquid) were added to the graduated cylinder. Again it was weighed to get the mass of the liquid samples. For the density of the rectangular solid‚ a metric ruler was used to measure the

It displays three allotropic forms: orthorhombic‚ monoclinic and amorphous. The orthorhombic form is the most stable form of sulfur. Monoclinic sulfur exists between the temperatures of 96°C and 119°C and reverts back to the orthorhombic form when cooled. Amorphous sulfur is formed when molten sulfur is quickly cooled. Amorphous sulfur is soft and elastic and eventually reverts back to the orthorhombic form.

A hydrate is any compound that contains water in the form of H2O molecules and usually has a definite content of water by weight. Hydrates typically have a crystal like appearance that can vary in colour and have a naming scheme based on the compound and number of water molecules that are in the hydrate. Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate‚ or CuSO4 * 5H2O‚ is a ratio of one copper sulfate to five (penta) molecules of water. Copper sulfate pentahydrate is a blue hydrate while anhydrous copper sulfate
