SCENARIO: ROAD CONSTRUCTION: Your state highway department hires high school students every summer to help with road construction projects. The hourly rate is $11.75 with the possibility of up to 10 hrs per week in overtime, for which you would be paid time and a half. Of course, the work is totally dependent on good weather, so the number of hrs you would work per week could vary. A road construction worker earns $11.75 per hour with up to 10 hours overtime. Write an equation, create a table, and create a graph for a road construction worker's weekly earnings with NO overtime, f(x), where x represents the total number of hrs the road construction worker would work. Is it Proportional or Non-proportional? Using the equation, table or graph, how much will a road construction worker earn for a typical 40 hr week

Study published in the journal of personality and individual differences found that adults with adhd displayed more creative achievement than those who didn't have the disorder. "for the same reason that adhd might create problems, like distraction, it can also allow an openness to new ideas," says holly white, assistant professor of cognitive psychology. "not being completely focused on a task lets the mind make associations that might not have happened otherwise." white and priti shah at the university of michigan gave 60 college students – half of them with adhd – a series of tests measuring creativity across 10 domains. the adhd group scored higher across the board. the adhd group showed more of a preference for brainstorming and generating ideas than the non-adhd group, which preferred refining and clarifying ideas. the adhd status of the participants was established by asking whether the individual had ever been clinically diagnosed with adhd/add. the tests of creativity were pencil-and-paper tasks administered in a laboratory setting. each of the ten scales was comprised of multiple questions, the scores on which were summed (e.g., writing creativity: "how many words can you make from the letters in the word 'psychology' invention creativity: "write down as many uses for a paper clip that you can think of.") this procedure does allow for a participant to be scored as showing no creativity under these conditions. a) state the research question in plain language (i wonder if is related to (1 point) b) state the null hypothesis (1 point) c) state the research hypothesis (1 point) d) is the research hypothesis directional or non-directional (1 point) e) name the predictor / independent variable f) give the operational definition of the predictor / independent variable g) evaluate the construct validity of the predictor / independent variable.
