For a study comparing leisure activities of physical education students with those of other students, a researcher has randomly selected a ten percent sample of physical education students and one percent sample of non-physical education students for a list of students. what kind of sampling technique is this?

(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. -

Iron pyrite (fes2) is the form in which much of the sulfur exists in coal. in the combustion of coal, oxygen reacts with iron pyrite to produce iron(iii) oxide and sulfur dioxide, which is a major source of air pollution and a substantial contributor to acid rain. what mass of fe2o3 is produced from 84 l of oxygen at 3.41 atm and 148◦c with an excess of iron pyrite? answer in units of g.
