Document Content and Description Below

The scientific method: a. provides the "rules of research" b. requires the systematic collection of observations c. uses statistical methods to analyze these observations d. all of the above - ANS ... -d. all of the above the independent variable is: a. what the research is manipulating b. what the researcher is measuring c. what the researcher uses to determine construct reliability and validity d. what the researcher uses to avoid bias in research - ANS-a. what the research is manipulating the dependent variable is: a. what the research is manipulating b. what the researcher is measuring c. what the researcher uses to determine construct reliability and validity d. what the researcher uses to avoid bias in research - ANS-b. what the researcher is measuring what is the purpose of a control variable? a. to assess how much treatment or intervention should be given to an experimental subject b. to assess the predictive ability of an independent variable c. to establish a baseline for comparison against the dependent variable d. to control how much of a treatment or intervention is given to an experimental subject e. all of the above - ANS-c. to establish a baseline for comparison against the dependent variable nominal levels of measurement are a. categorical and name a variable only b. ranks on a scale, numerical degrees, distances unequal c. ranks with equal distance but no true zero point d. ranks with equal distance, true zero point that means the absence of what is being measured - ANS-a. categorical and name a variable only ordinal levels of measurement are a. categorical and name a variable only b. ranks on a scale, numerical degrees, distances unequal c. ranks with equal distance but no true zero point d. ranks with equal distance, true zero point that means the absence of what is being measured - ANS-b. ranks on a scale, numerical degrees, distances unequal interval levels of measurement are a. categorical and name a variable only b. ranks on a scale, numerical degrees, distances unequal c. ranks with equal distance but no true zero point [Show More]
