To compare the production techniques used by foreign and local firms in Brazil, a random sample of 80 foreign firms and a random sample of 80 local firms are selected. This study uses design

An independent sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, to compare the production techniques used by foreign and local firms in Brazil, a random sample of 80 foreign firms and a random sample of 80 local firms are selected. We can safely conclude that this study uses an independent sample design.

An independent sample design can be defined as a research method that usually involves the use of multiple experimental groups (two or more). The samples or participants are only in one group and as such each group has no relationship with the other. This simply means that, the samples in a particular group is having no relationship with the other samples in another group.

Ultimately this implies, each samples are independent and satisfies only one condition of the independent sample design during the experiment to compare the production technique used by foreign and local firms in Brazil.

Hence, the researcher would use only two variables or conditions: a random sample of 80 foreign firms and a random sample of 80 local firms are selected.

step-by-step explanation:

6 + 24 = 30,   so 6/30 = .2  

if you do 1/5 it also equals .2, so that is the answer.

i think that you should ask google for the answer to that problem because if we don't know it google does
