John is a hospital administrator who aims to reduce hospital readmission rate at the cardiology department. He wants to learn how physician communicate with their patients at discharge at the cardiology department. So he set up cameras in doctors' offices and recorded the discharges, without informing the physicians first. Which of the following research approach best describes his approach to study this issue?
a) Naturalistic approach
b) Interpretation approach
c) Intervention approach
d) Case analysis approach
As you read about each study, (a) classify the type of research that it reflects, and (b) identify the kinds of conclusions that might reasonably be drawn from the results.
An educational psychologist videotapes 20 high school history teachers in action for a period of 4 weeks. He then codes every teacher statement as belonging to one of three categories: whether it (a) presents new information, (b) asks a question, or (c) gives instructions. He summarizes this information and compares the amount of teacher questioning to the students' scores on a district-wide history achievement test given later in the year. The researcher finds that when teachers ask a lot of questions in class, students are more likely to score at high levels on the achievement test.
(a) Classify the research as one of the following:
Quantitative/descriptive
Quantitative/correlational
Quantitative/experimental
Quantitative/quasi-experimental

- Cholesterol Cholesterol in human blood is necessary, but too much can lead to health problems. There are three main types of cholesterol: HDL (high-density lipoproteins), LDL (low-density lipoproteins), and VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins). HDL is considered “good” cholesterol; LDL and VLDL are considered “bad” cholesterol. A standard fasting cholesterol blood test measures total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. These numbers are used to estimate LDL and VLDL, which are difficult to measure directly. Your doctor recommends that your combined LDL/VLDL cholesterol level be less than 130 milligrams per deciliter, your HDL cholesterol level be at least 60 milligrams per deciliter, and your total cholesterol level be no more than 200 milligrams per deciliter. (a) Write a system of linear inequalities for the recommended cholesterol levels. Let x represent the HDL cholesterol level, and let y represent the combined LDL VLDL cholesterol level. (b) Graph the system of inequalities from part (a). Label any vertices of the solution region. (c) Is the following set of cholesterol levels within the recommendations? Explain. LDL/VLDL: 120 milligrams per deciliter HDL: 90 milligrams per deciliter Total: 210 milligrams per deciliter (d) Give an example of cholesterol levels in which the LDL/VLDL cholesterol level is too high but the HDL cholesterol level is acceptable. (e) Another recommendation is that the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol be less than 4 (that is, less than 4 to 1). Identify a point in the solution region from part (b) that meets this recommendation, and explain why it meets the recommendation.arrow_forwardThe success of an airline depends heavily on its ability to provide a pleasant customer experience.
