In the process of using the scientific method, a researcher: O Directly tests both the null and alternative hypotheses. O Directly tests only the alternative hypothesis because this is the hypothesis of interest. O Directly tests only the null hypothesis because this is the hypothesis of interest. O Directly tests only the null hypothesis because the null hypothesis leads to a specific prediction that can be compared with data. O Can not directly test either hypothesis.
3. Which of the following is (are) correct about mixed-methods research?i. A research instrument can be employed to produce both objective measures and subjective narratives.ii. When there are discrepancies between the quantitative and qualitative sets of findings, it means there is no feasible explanation for the social phenomenon under investigation.iii. Qualitative data can be used to inform the formulation of hypotheses that can be tested via quantitative methods.iv. Mixed-methods research produces data of a higher level of quality and is therefore preferable to ‘single-method’ research whenever the budget allows. A. i, iiB. ii, iiiC. iiiD. iii, iv

Density Here is a simple problem. Then we'll do one that requires a little more thought. The shape of a city is roughly a circle with a radius of 5 miles. If the population density for the city is 10,000 people per square mile, what is the population of the city? 11111 Now here's a problem that will stretch your problem solving skills. This time the city is also in the shape of a circle, but the population density is higher towards the center of the city and lower towards the outskirts. The numbers in the diagram represent miles. The population density is 10,000 people per square mile in the inner circle. In the first ring out from the center the density is 8,000 people per square mile, the second ring out it's 6,000, in the third ring out it's 4,000 and in the largest ring it's only 2,000 people per square mile. Finally, here is a three dimensional problem. Density is defined as weight per unit of volume. So which weighs more, a ball of zinc with a radius of 3 cm, or a ball of…
