Dr. Friedman suspects that women who work outside of the home might be frustrated with the balance of responsibilities in their household. She devises a survey to give to married women employed outside the home that includes the question "Does your spouse bother to help you around the house?" What is the problem with Dr. Friedman's approach?
a. It is an example of faulty thinking. b. It is cherry-picking the evidence. c. It reflects the present/present bias. d. It is an example of confirmatory hypothesis testing.

D. Confirmatory hypothesis testing

Explanation:

Confirmatory hypothesis testing can be referred to as, seeking and remembering information that can confirm, but not refute, a hypothesis.

It refers to the kind of statistical analysis where hypotheses that were properly deducted from a theory are confirmed

By confirmatory hypothesis testing researches mean the situation in which they had identified a specific set of theory-critical hypotheses in advance and they are now attempting to measure the evidence for or against them as accurately as possible.

That is what Dr Friedman is doing.

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)

answer; the government can clearly justify the restriction;
