True or false: continuous reinforcement occurs when a response is reinforced only some of the time.

FALSE

Explanation:

Continuous reinforcement is explained by psychology as a continuation of the same response to behavior each time it occurs. So in a continuous reinforcement scheme every time a behavior occurs, it will have a repeated response to stimulate learning faster. This is widely used in the education of children.

For example, if a child misbehaves, he or she will be grounded. When the behavior repeats, the punishment will be applied again. Thus, the child will associate that behavior with punishment and will change their behavior. In this case, the punishment is the continuous reinforcement.

answer: at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

explanation:

since we have given that

the population for alpha city, t years after january 1, 2004 is given as

first we find out the initial population, i.e. t=0,

so, our quadratic equation becomes,

according to question, we have said that if the population has twice its initial population, then it becomes

so, time taken to reach this above mentioned population is given by

now, we know that time can't be negative so, we take t=9.149 years.

hence, at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.
