What is a hypothesis in a research study?
What is a hypothesis in a research study?
- A group in an experiment that does not receive the experimental treatment
- A testable statement that predicts the relationship between variables (correct)
- A measurable characteristic or factor that can vary or change
- The variable that is measured or observed
What is the difference between the independent and dependent variables in an experiment?
What is the difference between the independent and dependent variables in an experiment?
- The independent variable is the variable that is manipulated or controlled by the researcher, and the dependent variable is measured or observed (correct)
- The independent variable is a group in an experiment that does not receive the experimental treatment, and the dependent variable is used as a baseline for comparison
- The independent variable is a well-substantiated explanation or framework that explains a phenomenon or set of observations, and the dependent variable is the variable that is measured or observed
- The independent variable is measured or observed, and the dependent variable is manipulated or controlled by the researcher
What is a control group in an experiment?
What is a control group in an experiment?

Key Concepts in Research Methodology
- A hypothesis is a testable statement that predicts the relationship between variables in a research study.
- Variables are measurable characteristics or factors that can vary or change in a research study.
- The independent variable is the variable that is manipulated or controlled by the researcher in an experiment.
- The dependent variable is the variable that is measured or observed and is expected to be influenced by the independent variable.
- A control group is the group in an experiment that does not receive the experimental treatment and is used as a baseline for comparison.
- Probability sampling is the process of selecting a sample from a population in such a way that each individual or object has an equal chance of being included.
- Quantitative research focuses on collecting and analyzing numerical data to answer research questions and test hypotheses.
- Qualitative research focuses on collecting and analyzing non-numerical data, such as interviews or observations, to gain in-depth insights into a research topic.
- Ethical considerations are the principles and guidelines that ensure the protection of participants' rights and well-being in a research study.
- Peer review is the process of evaluating and assessing the quality and validity of a research study by experts in the field before it is published.
- Theory is a well-substantiated explanation or framework that explains a phenomenon or set of observations.
- Replication is the process of conducting a study again using the same methods and procedures to determine if similar results are obtained.
