Suppose that a researcher wanted to measure the federal government's efforts to make the education of its citizens a priority. the researcher proposed to count the government's budget for education as a percentage of the total gdp and use that as the measure of the government's commitment to education. in terms of validity, what are the strengths and weaknesses of such a measure?

Step-by-step explanation:

STRENGTHS

1) Budget is a major pointer to a government's commitment in a particular sector. Money allocated for education versus the %GDP will definitely show if education is a priority for the government or not.

WEAKNESSES

1) The major player, (the citizens) is not the determinant in this measure.

2) Without knowing the actual number or estimate of those who would be captured in this budget it may be impossible to know if education was really the priority of the government. Let's say (X) number of persons will benefit from the education budget, if X is unknown then planning would be on assumptions.

3) Budget alone is not sufficient in determining the commitment of the government in a sector. Laws, policies as well play a huge role and in this research laws,and policies are not part of the determining indices.

9.55 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:

the given angle is

1 cycle is equal to 2π radians. so 4π will be equal to two cycles.

5.166667π-4π = 1.166667π

hence, this angle goes a little more than negative x axis.

1.166667π-π= 0.166667π

hence, the reference angle is 0.166667π radians.

1 radian = 57.2958 degrees

now, in degrees, this should be equals to 9.55 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
