Consumers read it and apply the information that is given
2. Define the Theory-Data Cycle Correct Answer Theory-Data Cycle: A researcher’s intent for a study, testing association claims to investigate support for a theory.
This is used for scientists to collect data to rest, change, or update their theories.
Steps of the Theory data cycle Correct Answer Theory - research question - Research design - hypothesis - Data
Statement that describes the principles of how variables are related it one another (general statement) Correct Answer Theory
Is a educated guess of what they think will happen (prediction, expect) Correct Answer hypothesis
The use of verified evidence as the basis for conclusions; collecting data systematical and using it to develop, support, or challenge a theory. (Survey) Correct Answer Empiricism

- Be falsifiable (can be proved false)
- Have parsimony (keep things simple)
Don't prove anything (weight of the evidence
3. Identify examples that illustrate ways that scientists tackle applied and basic problems Correct Answer Basic research: enhances the general body of knowledge. (What motivates people or what makes them happy or sad)
Applied research is done with a particular problem in mind, conduct their work in a real-world setting, and find answers to everyday problems such as new treatment or education methods (math or evaluations of a performance)
These methods both inspire each other and sometimes overlap
