The answer is A: Before the exam, give students a survey questioning their study habits and what grade they think they will make on the exam.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Before the exam, give students a survey questioning their study habits and what grade they think they will make on the exam.

    • This option is the best because it allows you to gather data on students' study habits and their expectations before they take the exam. This can help in understanding the correlation between their study habits, their expectations, and their actual performance.
  2. Before the exam, give students a survey questioning their study habits.

    • While this option collects information on study habits, it does not gather data on students' expectations, which could be valuable in analyzing the relationship between expectations and performance.
  3. After the exam, give students a survey questioning their study habits and what grade they think they made on the exam.

    • This option collects data after the exam, which might be influenced by their experience during the exam. It does not provide insight into their expectations before the exam, which is crucial for testing the hypothesis.
  4. After the exam, give students a survey questioning their study habits and what grade they made on their exam.

    • This option only provides retrospective data, which may be biased by the students' performance. It does not capture their expectations or study habits prior to the exam, making it less effective for testing the hypothesis.
