and number of church visits in the previous year. Which of the following
techniques is most suitable for answering these questions?

a) a population mean is equal to a specified value
b) a sample mean is equal to a specified value
c) a population mean is within a certain range of values
d) a sample mean is within a certain range of values
5. The repeated-measures ANOVA is designed to decrease this type of error
a) individual differences
b) uncontrolled environmental factors

8. Which of the following would lead to a statistically significant chi-square?
a) Approximately equal expected and observed frequencies
b) An observed frequency of zero in at least one of the groups
c) Discrepancy between expected and observed frequencies
9. Which measure do we use in order to get the unique proportion of
variance explained by a single predictor in a multiple regression analysis?
a) The squared multiple correlation of the predictor.
