Single Subject Design Choice 2 of 2   Performance topic: Improving student social distancing in the classroom.  Your children are under instructional control in that when you provide a direction the children comply. Your school has a 3 foot social distancing policy and your children will socially distance when you tell them to, but otherwise they do not socially distance. Design an intervention to promote independent social distancing and design a study to evaluate your intervention.   A. How is this topic socially and educationally significant and are there related studies, if you know them, that are relevant to the topic? B. Describe the number and characteristics of your participants (gold standard) C. Provide a full operational description and definition of the behavior or behaviors that constitute your dependent variable or dependent variables. D. Describe how you measure your dependent variable or variables. That is, what dimension or dimensions of the behavior or behavior effects will you select to measure as your dependent variable (e.g., event, duration, whole interval, partial interval, brief time, effect, sample to name a few options)? E. Describe how will you graph or visually display your data.  For each graph, describe what will be displayed on the x- and y-axes.  Also describe the number of data points per phase/condition so that a reviewer can imagine what your graph would look like (and ensure your study meets the quality indicators). F. Briefly describe your Independent variable intervention. Describe your intervention and the criterion for ceasing the intervention, or the number of sessions for the intervention.  You may also include a measure and measurement criterion for the fidelity of your treatment, although you do not necessarily have to do this. G. Describe your design, including how you will label it. Include the number of pre-intervention sessions and post intervention sessions and your rationale for determining the number of sessions for each.

Two functions, f and g, map real numbers to integers. The functions f and g are defined as: f ( x ) = ⌊ x + 1 2 ⌋ g ( x ) = ⌈ x − 1 2 ⌉ Select the value for x such that f ( x ) ≠ g ( x ) .

f(x) = |x| g(x) = -5x + 2 Select the correct value for g ∘ f ( 2 ) .

Which statement is the contrapositive of: “If x = 4 , then 3 x = 12 .”

Select the value of the sum ∑ k = − 2 3 k 2 .
