GRADED A+
Reliable -
CORRECT|ANSWER
If an experiment can be replicated.
Parsimony (Occaim's Razor) -
CORRECT|ANSWER
The finding should be explained and interprited in the simplest and most economic way
Experiment -
CORRECT|ANSWER
The most common type of research. The researcher has control over all relevant variables. Usually
conducted in Labs or high control settings.
Confounding -
CORRECT|ANSWER

True Experiment -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Every member has an equal chance of selection AND are randomly assigned to groups. Rare in most

Quasi Experiment -
CORRECT|ANSWER
Any research that fails to use random assignment or lacks a control group. All intact group studies.
Stratified Sampling -
CORRECT|ANSWER
People are selected from sub-groups.
Proportional Stratified Sampling -
