- 3. Which of the following is (are) correct about mixed-methods research?i. A research instrument can be employed to produce both objective measures and subjective narratives.ii. When there are discrepancies between the quantitative and qualitative sets of findings, it means there is no feasible explanation for the social phenomenon under investigation.iii. Qualitative data can be used to inform the formulation of hypotheses that can be tested via quantitative methods.iv. Mixed-methods research produces data of a higher level of quality and is therefore preferable to ‘single-method’ research whenever the budget allows.

O Directly tests only the alternative hypothesis because this is the hypothesis of interest. O Directly tests only the null hypothesis because this is the hypothesis of interest. O Directly tests only the null hypothesis because the null hypothesis leads to a specific prediction that can be compared with data. O Can not directly test either hypothesis.arrow_forwardDensity Here is a simple problem. Then we'll do one that requires a little more thought. The shape of a city is roughly a circle with a radius of 5 miles. If the population density for the city is 10,000 people per square mile, what is the population of the city? 11111 Now here's a problem that will stretch your problem solving skills. This time the city is also in the shape of a circle, but the population density is higher towards the center of the city and lower towards the outskirts. The numbers in the diagram represent miles. The population density is 10,000 people per square mile in the inner circle. In the first ring out from the center the density is 8,000 people per square mile, the second ring out it's 6,000, in the third ring out it's 4,000 and in the largest ring it's only 2,000 people per square mile. Finally, here is a three dimensional problem. Density is defined as weight per unit of volume. So which weighs more, a ball of zinc with a radius of 3 cm, or a ball of…arrow_forward
- Create a Ruby program for managing a grocery store's inventory system. The inventory Information is stored in a text file named "grocery_Inventory.txt." Each line in the file represents a grocery item with the following format. "SKU, Name, Category. Quantity, Price." The program should allow the user to add new items, update the quantity of existing items, and display the total value of the inventory. Ensure that the program checks for the existence of "grocery inventory.txt" and handles cases where the file is empty. Utilize functions to organize your code effectively, with comments explaining each function's purpose. You can use data structures like arrays or structs to store and manipulate inventory data. The program should output the updated inventory information to a file named "updated_grocery_inventory.txt." Ex: grocery inventory.txt: 101, Apples, Fruits, 50, 0.75 102, Bread, Bakery, 20, 2.50 103, Milk, Dairy, 30, 3.99 (updated grocery_inventory.txt after adding 100 packs of…arrow_forwardTrue or false 1.

- One mole of Gold (Au) atom has a mass of 197 g. We know that the density of gold is 19.30 g/cm3 in room temperature. Using those numbers, answer the following questions: a) What is the mass of a single gold atom in kg? b) Assume that gold atoms sit in a perfect cubic crystal structure. Estimate the distance between two gold atoms in meters. c) If we have a gold cube of 6 cm on each side, how many atoms can we fit along the edge of each side of the cube? d) What would be the mass, in kilograms, of the gold cube we discussed in part (c) (measuring 6 cm on each side)?arrow_forward15.
