method? However, the value of these theories, the scientific method and
empiricism is that these 'artificial' theories can always be
disproven (proven wrong) in the future.
Phuong is conducting an d. type of proofreading and number of errors found
experiment on
proofreading. All participants
are asked to read a passage
with several typos and
correct the errors. However,
one group proofreads by
reading silently, a second
group proofreads by reading
aloud, and a third group
proofreads by reading the
passage silently backward.
The researcher calculates
the average number of
errors
found in each group and finds
that both the reading silently
and reading aloud groups
found more errors than the
reading silently backward
group. What are the
variables in this study?

a. Behavioral research
requires the
calculation of
probability estimates.
b. Conclusions drawn
from behavioral
research are probably
true.

A researcher is interested in e. correlation
the
relationship between nose
picking and height. To test
this, he asks 500 college
students how often they
pick their nose a week. Then,
he measures the height of
each student with a tape
measure.
what is the most appropriate
statistical test to use?
a. dependent samples t-test
b. a independent samples t-
test
c. a Chi Squared
d. ANOVA
e. correlation
A researcher wants to know b. type 2 error
if taking a walk for 30
minutes daily increases
mood. To test this, the
researcher asks people how
many days each week they
walk for at least 30
minutes and then has each
person take a mood rating
scale. The researcher finds
that there is no relationship
between how often people
walk for 30 minutes each
day and
their mood. However, in
reality, walking for 30
minutes each day does
increase mood. Based on
this information, the
