Vernon's work for finding the value of x is shown below. Lines A C and B D intersect at point E. Angle A E D is (16 x + 8) degrees and angle D E C is 76 degrees. Step 1: 16x + 8 = 76 Step 2: 16x = 68 Step 3: x = 4.25 Did Vernon solve for the correct value of x? If not, explain where he made his error. Yes, he solved for the correct answer. No, he should have set the sum of ∠AED and ∠DEC equal to 180°, rather then setting ∠AED and ∠DEC equal to each other. No, he should have added 8 to both sides rather than subtracting 8 from both sides. No, he should have multiplied both sides by 16 rather than dividing both sides by 16.

In a study of the relationship between socio-economic class and unethical behavior, 129 university of california undergraduates at berkeley were asked to identify themselves as having low or high social-class by comparing themselves to others with the most (least) money, most (least) education, and most (least) respected jobs. they were also presented with a jar of individually wrapped candies and informed that the candies were for children in a nearby laboratory, but that they could take some if they wanted. after completing some unrelated tasks, participants reported the number of candies they had taken. it was found that those who were identiď¬ed as upper-class took more candy than others. in this study, identify: (a) the cases, (b) the variables and their types, (c) the main research question, (d) identify the population of interest and the sample in this study, and (e) comment on whether or not the results of the study can be generalized to the population, and if the ď¬ndings of the study can be used to establish causal relationships.
