Question 10: The answer is B: It lacks the manipulation of an independent variable, random assignment, or both.

Explanation:

  • A: "It is about personality and individual differences." This is not a defining feature of nonexperimental research. While nonexperimental research can study personality and individual differences, it is not limited to these topics.
  • B: "It lacks the manipulation of an independent variable, random assignment, or both." This is the correct answer. Nonexperimental research is characterized by the absence of manipulation of independent variables and/or the lack of random assignment, distinguishing it from experimental research.
  • C: "It involves only one variable." Nonexperimental research can involve multiple variables; it is not limited to just one.
  • D: "It has high external validity." While nonexperimental research can have high external validity, this is not a defining feature. External validity depends on the study design and context.

Question 11: The answer is False.

Explanation:

  • Nonexperimental research is not inherently inferior or something to be avoided. It is a valuable approach in situations where manipulation of variables is not possible or ethical, such as in observational studies, surveys, or correlational research. It can provide important insights and contribute to the understanding of phenomena in real-world settings.

An admissions director wants to estimate the mean age of all students enrolled at a college. The estimate must be within 1.7 years of the population mean. Assume the population of ages is normally distributed. (a) Determine the minimum sample size required to construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean. Assume the population standard deviation is 1.8 years. (b) The sample mean is 21 years of age. Using the minimum sample size with a 90% level of confidence, does it seem likely that the population mean could be within 10% of the sample mean? within 11% of the sample mean? Explain. Click here to view page 1 of the Standard Normal Table. Click here to view page 2 of the Standard Normal Table. (a) The minimum sample size required to construct a 90% confidence interval is students. (Round up to the nearest whole number.)

A chemist carefully measures the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 339.0 mg sample of a pure substance from -8.1°C to 1.4°C. The experiment shows that 1.4 J of heat are needed. What can the chemist report for the specific heat capacity of the substance? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

The green line on the following graph shows the economy's long-term growth trend. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot the real GDP in each of the years listed. (Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically.) Next, place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the point on the real GDP curve that definitely represents a peak. Finally, place the grey point (star symbol) on the graph to indicate the point on the real GDP curve that definitely represents a trough. Calculate the percentage change in real GDP in each of the years shown. (Hint: The percentage change in real GDP equals the change in GDP from the previous year to the current year. For example, you can calculate the percentage change for 1981 by finding the change in GDP from 1980 to 1981, dividing this change by the level of GDP in 1980, and then multiplying the result by 100%.)
