Question 5

Accepted Answer

Open-ended questions allow participants to provide their own answers without being limited by predefined response options. This type of question is useful for gathering detailed and diverse information, exploring new ideas or perspectives, and encouraging creative thinking.

Question 6

In order to generate a _____ sample, Pam selected every 10th name off of the registrar's alphabetical list of all students at her university. All of the students at the university represent the _____ and Pam used the _____ sampling technique.​

Accepted Answer

Pam selected every 10th name off of the registrar's alphabetical list of all students at her university. This is a systematic sampling technique, which is a type of probability sampling. The sample is representative of the population because it is selected randomly from the population.

Question 7

A multiple-choice question is to a(n) _____ question and a short answer question is to a(n) _____ question.​

Accepted Answer

Multiple-choice questions are closed-ended, meaning they have a limited set of answer options to choose from. Short answer questions are open-ended, meaning the respondent can provide any answer within their knowledge or experience. Therefore, the best choice is D, where closed-ended matches with multiple-choice and open-ended matches with short answer.

Question 8

A tendency for one group to be overrepresented in a study is known as​

Accepted Answer

Sampling bias occurs when the sample selected for a study is not representative of the population, leading to an overrepresentation of certain groups. This can skew the results and limit the generalizability of the findings. Response bias refers to the tendency of participants to respond in a certain way, experimenter effects refer to the influence of the experimenter on the results, and interviewer bias refers to the influence of the interviewer on the responses of the participants.

Question 9

Questions for which participants choose from a limited number of alternatives are _____ questions.​

Accepted Answer

Closed-ended questions provide limited response options to participants, and they have to choose from the alternatives given to them. This type of question is used to obtain specific information, and the answers obtained can be easily analyzed quantitatively.

Question 10

Which of the following is FALSE?​

Accepted Answer

A closed-ended question is a question that provides a limited set of response options for the participant to choose from, rather than allowing them to formulate their own response. Therefore, choice C is false. The other options are correct: A is describing a loaded question, B is describing a leading question, and D is describing a double-barreled question.

Question 11

Rich is conducting a survey of student opinion of the dining hall at his university. In order to make sure that students from each major are adequately represented he should use the _____ sampling technique.​

Accepted Answer

Stratified random sampling would involve dividing the student population into different strata based on major, and then randomly sampling from each stratum to ensure adequate representation from each major. This will provide a more accurate representation of the diverse opinions on the dining hall.

Question 12

_____ sampling is a sampling technique in which each member of the population has a known likelihood of being selected to be part of the sample.

Accepted Answer

Probability sampling is a technique that ensures each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected. This increases the representativeness of the sample and reduces bias. Thus, C is the correct choice. Quota sampling (Option A) involves selecting a pre-determined number of individuals from different categories, while representative sampling (Option B) aims to ensure that the sample is representative of the population but does not necessarily guarantee an equal chance of selection. Non-probability sampling (Option D) does not necessarily allow for each member to have an equal chance of selection as the sample is chosen based on non-random criteria.

Question 13

A question including nonneutral or emotionally laden terms is to a _____ question as a question that sways the respondent to answer in a desired manner is to a _____ question.​

Accepted Answer

A question including nonneutral or emotionally laden terms is referred to as a loaded question, while a question that sways the respondent to answer in a desired manner is called a leading question. Therefore, the first part of the question is asking for the term "loaded," and the second part is asking for the term "leading." Choice A correctly matches the terms to the corresponding question types.

Accepted Answer

This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as social desirability bias or acquiescence bias.
