You want to determine whether the race of the defendant has an impact on jury verdicts. You assign participants to watch a trial

with either a Hispanic or Caucasian defendant, and you measure on a 1 (not at all) to 7 (very) scale how confident they feel the defendant is guilty. This is a confidence scale represents a _________ scale of measurement

Answer:

The confidence scale represents an ordinal scale of measurement

Explanation:

An ordinal scale or level of measurement is used to measure attributes that can be ranked or ordered, but the interval between the attributes do not have quantitative significance. In this case, the measurement was done on a scale of 1 - 7, with a "1" being; not all that race of defendant has an impact on jury verdicts and a "7" being "very" meaning that race indeed has impact on jury verdicts. Another example can be a survey carried out on the level of customer satisfaction on a particular product, with "1" most dissatisfied and "10 " representing most satisfied. In the first example, it is wrong to say that the difference between 1 being "not at all" and maybe 3 is the same as the difference between 5 and 7 which have different connotations, because the numbers are merely for tagging and not to quantify.

Other levels of measurement include:

1. Nominal: this is the simplest level of measurement and it is simply used to categorize the attributes. Example is taking a survey on gender in the categories of male, female and transgender.

2. Interval: the interval scale is used when the distance between two attributes have meanings but there is no true zero value associated with the scale.

3. Ratio: this combines all the other three levels of measurement and is used to categorize, used to show ranking, has meaningful distances between the attributes and the scale has a true zero point. Example is the measurement of temperature using the celcius scale thermometer, where there is a true zero point at 0°C and the distance between 5°C and 10°C is the same as the distance between 10°C and 15°C.

An electric field is expressed in rectangular coordinates by E = 6x2ax + 6y ay +4az V/m.Find:a) VMN if point M and N are specifi
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

a.) -147V

b.) -120V

c.) 51V

Explanation:

a.) Equation for potential difference is the integral of the electrical field from a to b for the voltage V_ba = V(b)-V(a).

b.) The problem becomes easier to solve if you draw out the circuit. Since potential at Q is 0, then Q is at ground. So voltage across V_MQ is the same as potential at V_M.

c.) Same process as part b. Draw out the circuit and you'll see that the potential a point V_N is the same as the voltage across V_NP added with the 2V from the other box.

Honestly, these things take practice to get used to. It's really hard to explain this.

CHALLENGE ACTIVITY 1.4.1: Basic syntax errors. Type the statements. Then, correct the one syntax error in each statement. Hints:
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Lets check each statement for the errors.

Explanation:

System.out.println("Predictions are hard.");

This statement has no syntax errors. When this statement is executed the following line will be displayed:

Predictions are hard.

System.out.print("Especially ');

This statement is missing the closing quotation mark. A single quotation mark is placed instead of double quotation mark in the statement.

The following error message will be displayed when this program statement will be compiled:

Main.java:15: error: unclosed string literal

String literals use double quotes. So to correct this syntax error, the statement should be changed as follows:

System.out.print("Especially");

The output of this corrected line is as following:

Especially

System.out.println("about the future.").

In this line a period . is placed at the end of the statement instead of a semicolon ; but according to the syntax rules statements should end in semicolons.

The error message displayed when this line is compiled is as following:

Main.java:15: error: ; expected

Main.java:15: error: not a statement

So in order to correct this syntax error the statement should be changed as following:

System.out.println("about the future.");    

The output of this corrected line is as following:

about the future

System.out.println("Num is: " - userName);

There is a syntax error in this statement because of - symbol used instead of +

+ symbol is used to join together a variable and a value a variable and another variable in a single print statement.

The error message displayed when this line is compiled is as following:

Main.java:13: error: bad operand types for binary operator '-'

So in order to correct this syntax error the statement should be changed as following:

System.out.println("Num is: " + userName);

This line will print two things one is the string Num is and the other is the value stored in userName variable.

So let userName= 5 then the output of this corrected line is as following:

Num is: 5
