President Trump tweeted on Friday that Jerome H. Powell chair of the Federal Reserve might
be a bigger enemy of the United States than China's president because the Fed has refused
Trump's demand to lower interest rates significantly. The president said that the high cost of
borrowing hurts the US. economy.. but today unemployment is near an all-time low and
inflation is below the Fed's 2 percent target. Trump's trade war - particularly his on again
off-again tariffs - has dented business confidence and could push the economy into a
recession. To forestall that, he wants the Fed to lower rates. The Senate confirmed Powell to a
four-year term as chair in addition to a 14-year term as govemor. The law says that governors
can only be fired for cause, and courts don't typically construe policy differences as cause
Institutionally, the Fed is insulated from the rest of the government. Its funds come not from Congress but from its own operations; Fed govemors have extraordinary long terms and so forth
(A) Describe the informal power of the president that Trump is exercising in the
scenario.

(adapted from m. m. duguid and j. a. goncalo, living large: the powerful overestimate their own height. ) in a study of power and self-image, participants were not told the true purpose of the study; instead, they believed they were participating in a business simulation. researchers randomly assigned participants to a high power(n = 44) or low-power (n = 44) condition. in the high-power condition, participants recalled a time when they had power over others, and in the low-power condition, they recalled a time when others had power over them. participants were asked to adjust the height (in centimeters) of an electronic graphical image (an avatar)of themselves to reflect their personal appearance. results indicated a statistically significant difference in participants’ perceptions of their own height across the two conditions. participants in the high-power condition created taller self-images (mean = 6.0, standard deviation = 1.5) than participants in the low-power condition(mean = 4.0, standard deviation = 1.0). * describe independent variable- describe how researchers measured the independent variable- explain why the researchers can conclude that there is a cause-and-effect relationship between the independent and dependent variables. - explain what statistical significance means in the context of the study.- explain why debriefing would be necessary in the study. -
