Which feature makes a hypothesis scientifically useful?
It is universally true across all contexts
It is descriptive but not predictive
It is more detailed than any theory
It is falsifiable and can be shown incorrect
Which example best illustrates a positive correlation?
As study time increases, exam scores increase
As exercise increases, resting heart rate increases
As sleep increases, tiredness increases
As shoe size increases, hours of sleep decrease
Which description correctly defines a negative correlation?
Variables show no consistent directional change
Variables change in opposite directions together
Variables change in the same direction together
Variables cause each other over time
Why does correlation not imply causation?
Third variables may explain the relationship
Causation requires no evidence or testing
Scatterplots cannot display any direction
Correlated variables always change randomly
Correlation coefficients can range from:
0 to 100
-100 to 100
-1 to 1
0-10
Which scatterplot pattern indicates a stronger correlation?
Points clustering closely along a straight line
Points widely scattered with no clear pattern
Points forming a perfect circle evenly spaced
Points grouped in random clusters without slope
A researcher finds a strong correlation between weight and height. What is the most appropriate interpretation?
There is no relationship between height and weight
Weight causes height to grow over time
Height directly causes changes in weight
Height and weight tend to increase together
Which statement best defines the experimental group in a study?
Participants who analyze the study’s results
Participants matched to the control group demographics
Participants randomly sampled from the population
Participants exposed to the manipulated variable
In experimental design, what is the primary role of the control group?
Provide a baseline without the manipulation
Experience all manipulated variables
Receive extra measurements for accuracy
Select the independent variable to test
Which option correctly identifies the independent variable?
The baseline condition without manipulation
The participant characteristics held constant
The factor influenced or controlled by the experimenter
The outcome the researcher measures
A researcher tests whether noise affects test scores. What is the dependent variable?
Presence of a quiet control condition
Students’ test scores measured
Assignment of students to groups
Amount of classroom noise introduced
Which correlation coefficient represents the strongest correlation?
-0.9
+0.2
+0.5
-0.1
A longitudinal study primarily differs from a cross-sectional study because it
surveys many groups at one single time point
measures the same individuals repeatedly over time
avoids any participant dropouts by design
uses only randomized sampling procedures
Which statement correctly distinguishes reliability from validity?
Both reliability and validity mean consistency only
Reliability is accuracy; validity is consistency
Reliability is consistency; validity is accuracy
Both reliability and validity mean accuracy only
