Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of randomization in an experimental design?

  • To reduce the number of observations
  • To increase the sample size of the experimental group
  • To eliminate the effects of extraneous variables (correct)
  • To ensure that the treatment is effective

Which experimental design lacks a control group?

  • True experimental design
  • Randomized controlled trial
  • One-shot case study (correct)
  • Quasi-experimental design

What is the independent variable in an experiment?

  • The variable being measured or observed
  • The variable being controlled
  • The variable being predicted
  • The variable being manipulated or changed (correct)
