Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question is asking about a schedule of reinforcement for receiving paychecks. The fact that individuals are paid every week on a specific day (Friday) suggests a fixed-interval schedule. This means that the reinforcement (the paycheck) is delivered after a fixed amount of time (one week) has passed since the previous reinforcement.
