Answer:

The behavior was freely chosen

Explanation:

Cognitive dissonance describes a phenomenon involving conflicting attitudes, beliefs or behaviors. In psychology, cognitive dissonance is where one holds contradictory beliefs, ideas or values. This is seen in the above example where Laureano in spite of her strong preference for Honda still goes ahead to buy a Nissan. She would experience dissonance since she had not gone for the car of her preference and instead goes for a Nissan.

Answer:

Investment theory of creativity

Explanation:

Researchers Robert Sternberg and Todd Lubart have proposed a theory called the investment theory of creativity. According to the authors, creative people are like good investors: they buy low and sell high. Their research show that creative ideas are rejected as bizarre or ridiculous by most people when they first come out, and thus they are worth little. Creative people are willing to champion these ideas that are not generally accepted, and it is in this sense that they are "buying low". They try hard to convince other people of the value of the new idea, and eventually they turn them into supported and high value ideas. Creative people "sell high" when they move on from the now generally accepted idea on to the next unpopular but promising idea.

A real world example of this theory was famous filmmaker Stanley Kubrick. When most of his movies first came out, they usually were met with mixed or negative reviews, as was the case of films like A Clockwork Orange (1971) or The Shining (1980). However, after a few years, they were widely recognized as cinematic masterpieces.

Answer:

$z=1.28$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=58 +1.28*5=64.4$

So the value of height that separates the bottom 90% of data from the top 10% is 64.4.

Explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the velocity of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(58,5)$

Where $\mu=58$ and $\sigma=5$

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

$P(X>a)=0.10$ (a)

$P(X$ (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.90 of the area on the left and 0.1 of the area on the right it's z=1.28. On this case P(Z<1.28)=0.9 and P(z>1.28)=0.1

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

$P(X$

$P(z$

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

$z=1.28$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=58 +1.28*5=64.4$

So the value of height that separates the bottom 90% of data from the top 10% is 64.4.

Nepal gets more rain due to high pressure.
Summer Monsoon Rainfall is variability from the months of June to September over Nepal that is moisture carried with eastern arm of low pressure during Northeastern India.
Over the Nepal Himalaya, greater rainfall is central-eastern part with the most aspects to the high. Western part of country receives more rain than the east.
