study to compare the new tool with an existing tool that measures this concept. This is

for the statistical analysis, which would be the best way to measure pain for this study? -
CORRECT ANSWER: numerical pain scale with a range from 0 to 100
A researcher performs a series of pilot studies to evaluate whether a measurement tool
produces consistent results. This is an evaluation of: - CORRECT ANSWER: Reliability
A researcher studying depression in relation to five predictor variables decides to

Agree, Agree, Slightly Agree, Slightly Disagree, Disagree, and Strongly Disagree. This
is an example of which of the following? - CORRECT ANSWER: A Likert scale
In a pilot study to help train a group of data collectors who will evaluate children's pain
using a FACES rating scale, the researcher examines the reliability of the scores of
each data collector. This is an example of which type of reliability measure? -
CORRECT ANSWER: Interrater reliability
The quantitative researcher collects many pieces of quantitative data as words, not
numbers. Prior to statistical analysis, all of the data pieces must be coded. What does
this mean? - CORRECT ANSWER: The data are transformed into numerals
corresponding to words, such as 0—no college degree, 1—bachelor's degree, 2—
master's degree, 3—PhD or EdD.
