What is administrative discretion? Suppose you are a police officer who believes that the recreational use of small amounts of marijuana does not pose a significant risk to the user or to the general public
How would this belief likely affect your use of administrative discretion when you encounter small-time recreational marijuana users?
What will be an ideal response?
An ideal response will:
1, Define administrative discretion as the authority of bureaucrats to select among various responses to a given problem.
2, Describe how the police officer could use administrative discretion to be lenient on small-time marijuana users. Rather than issuing a citation or arresting the user, the officer could instead issue a formal or informal warning or ignore the infraction altogether.

1. Pearson’s r is not a symmetrical measure of association. 2. When plotting data on a scatter plot, homoscedastic data look like a slanted tornado or funnel. 3. The Gauss-Markov theorem is a set of assumptions that data should meet for linear regression. 4. If your data does not meet the assumption of interval level variables, you can use a contingency table to analyze the relationship between a categorical dependent variable and an interval independent variable if you collapse it into categories. 5. If the squared value of x has a positive coefficient, the scatter plot will look like a mountain.
