What aspect of validity assesses the extent to which your measure is able to discriminate between different groups?

That reality is socially constructed and cannot be generalized are assumptions of which approach to research?

Competitive Markets Consider a village’s competitive market for rice. The daily market demand for rice (in bushels per day) is given by the equation: Q = 9 – ½P or (equivalently) P = 18 – 2Q The market supply of rice is given by the equation: Q = P – 3 or (equivalently) P = 3 + Q These equations are plotted below (with some labels missing that you will be asked to fill in): Given this information, answer the following: (3 p.) Using the equations for demand and supply given in the instructions above, find the value of the intercepts A, B, and C given in the figure above. (3 p.) What is price and quantity of rice in competitive equilibrium? (In other words, find P­­* and Q*.) Why is this equilibrium a Nash equilibrium? (3 p.) Is the competitive equilibrium efficient? Why or why not? (3 p.) Calculate producer and consumer surplus in equilibrium. (3 p.) Suppose now that supply increases to Q = P – 2 or equivalently P = 2 + Q. Recalculate consumer surplus given the new supply. (HINT: Intercept B has changed.) Has consumer surplus increased or decreased?

Which of the following is an example of something being measured at the nominal level?

Vinnie was running a focus group. During the discussion, two people seemed less willing than others to share their opinions about their experiences with the police on campus. While most people praised the police, these two individuals said they felt harassed by the police. However, Vinnie didn’t really probe the individuals about their experiences. According to our lecture, which of the common problems faced by moderators is this an example of?

Which qualitative method examines a system of action instead of individuals?

QUIZ PROBLEM #1 Instructions:  Select your answers from the dropdown lists. There is no need to write anything on your “work” pages.  But if you do, include that with your scanned pages that you submit later. Questions: For each of the chemical equations shown, indicate: Whether or not the equation is balanced. Which type of reaction it is. Chemical Equations: A.  2 C4H6 (l)  +  11 O2 (g)   –>   8 CO2 (g)  +  6 H2O (g) Is this equation balanced?  [balance1] Which type of reaction is this?  [rxn1] B.  P4 (s)  +  5 Cl2 (g)   –>   4 PCl5 (s) Is this equation balanced?  [balance2] Which type of reaction is this?  [rxn2]

The moderator fulfills which of the following roles in a focus group

If Albert believes that it’s good to eat vegetables because his doctor told him so, what way of knowing would he be using to reach this conclusion?

A researcher in the CJC is interested in studying students’ experiences at UF. To do their study, they have decided to employ qualitative methods. In addition, their stated goal is to understand how individuals interpret events and create meaning in their lives. Based on this description of the research methods and goals, which paradigm is being employed by the scholar?
