Questions and Answers

What is the primary concern when assessing associations between variables in research?

  • The presence of an association (correct)
  • The type of association
  • The magnitude of the association
  • The direction of the association

What is the null hypothesis stating in a given research scenario?

  • The association is only present in the sample
  • There is a moderate association between the variables
  • The variables are not linked in the population (correct)
  • There is a significant association between the variables

What is the main goal of statistical hypothesis testing in research?

  • To infer whether an association exists or not in the population (correct)
  • To determine the direction of an association
  • To determine the magnitude of an association
  • To determine the type of association
