Document Summary
Chapter 1 questions: 1, 7, 9, 13, 15, 18, 21, 22, 23. Note: questions are in the textbook; therefore it is expected that the reader has the book and is able to access these questions. The answered questions are the ones that were assigned. 1a) adolescent boys on depression medication are the population. 1b) the 30 boys in the study are the sample: the independent variable is the freedom to design the office space, while the dependent variable is the resulting productivity and well being. 9a) this study is nonexperimental, because there are no independent or dependent variable variables, and other factors are not controlled for. 9b) this is an experiment, because there is a dependent variable (# of colds) and independent variable (multivitamins) given daily. There is a control group = 10 students receive no vitamins. 13c) discrete (can only be one or the other)
