The diminished response is habituation. When I was younger I used to work in a customer service‚ call center setting. I got used to the phones ringing day in and day out

Types of Sampling In applications: Probability Sampling: Simple Random Sampling‚ Stratified Random Sampling‚ Multi-Stage Sampling * What is each and how is it done? * How do we decide which to use? * How do we analyze the results differently depending on the type of sampling? Non-probability Sampling: Why don’t we use non-probability sampling schemes? Two reasons: * We can’t use the mathematics of probability to analyze the results. * In general‚ we can’t count on a non-probability

PCS125 Lab – The Simple Pendulum Objective and Background Objective: The Objective of this experiment is to examine the simple harmonic motion and to determine the value of the acceleration due to gravity from the analysis of the period of the simple pendulum. [1] Background: There are three equations that will be used to calculate the period of motion of the simple pendulum. They are the slope of the line of the graph of T² against L‚ and the gravity of the pendulum motion. The period of
