MMSC 375 Final Exam questions with solved
solutions
What is the research process? - CORRECT ANSWER>>Define the task.
Locate information. Organize notes. Present assignment. Evaluate
work.
How should you select the sample? - CORRECT ANSWER>>Generalize to
theoretical population and then access Study population and then get a
sampling frame and you have the sample.
What is the research question? - CORRECT ANSWER>>Statement
regarding the focus of the study.
What will answers to research questions look like? - CORRECT
ANSWER>>Data, experiments, discussion
Dependent Variable - CORRECT ANSWER>>Variable the experimenter
measures, after making changes to the IV that are
assumed to affect the DV.
,Extraneous variable - CORRECT ANSWER>>variables that you are not
intentionally studying in your experiment or test. It can threaten
internal validity.
Confounding variable - CORRECT ANSWER>>a factor other than the
independent variable that might produce an effect in an experiment
Moderating Variable - CORRECT ANSWER>>Suspected or known to
impact / influence the DV.
Explanatory Variable - CORRECT ANSWER>>When a variable isn't
independent for certain, it's an explanatory variable or
Independent variables, or predictors, in a regression analysis.
Classification of design includes: - CORRECT ANSWER>>1. Extent to
which question was formed
2. Data Collection Method
3. Control of variables
4. Purpose of Study
5. Time Dimension
6. Topical scope
7. Research Environment
,8. Participant Perception
Extent to which question was formed includes - CORRECT
ANSWER>>Exploratory
Formal
Control of variables include - CORRECT ANSWER>>Experiment
Ex post factor
Purpose of Study includes - CORRECT ANSWER>>Descriptive
Casual
Exploratory
Topical Scope - CORRECT ANSWER>>Statistical Study
Case study
Extent to which question was formed:
The Hypothesis that XYZ will reduce tumor growth will be empirically
tested. - CORRECT ANSWER>>Formal/Labratory
Control of Variables:
, New drug will be introduced into the cancer treatment process -
CORRECT ANSWER>>Expirament
Purpose of study
Study will seek to determine if this new drug can reduce tumor growth.
- CORRECT ANSWER>>Exploratory
random error - CORRECT ANSWER>>error that occurs by chance during
measurement
Exploratory
(Extent to which Q formed) - CORRECT ANSWER>>Loose structures with
the objective of discovering future research tasks. Immediate purpose
is to develop hypothesis or questions for further research.
Gain insight for later investigation and usually done when no early
studies were done.
Formal
(Extent to Q formed) - CORRECT ANSWER>>Specific hypothesis and test
hypothesis and answer question. Data gathered is controlled,
