The answer of In Minitab the ________ and ________ statements...

Question 3

For multivariate statistical techniques,when there is ________,cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling can be used.
A) variable interdependence
B) interobject similarity
C) more than one dependent variable
D) one dependent variable

Accepted Answer

Cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling are appropriate when there is interobject similarity, which is usually measured by distance or dissimilarity measures between the objects. These methods are used to identify groups or clusters of similar objects or to visualize complex similarities or differences among objects in multiple dimensions. Variable interdependence and more than one dependent variable are not specific conditions for cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

The answer of Give a brief overview of the data-preparation...

Question 5

________ is a multivariate dependence technique with more than one dependent variable.
A) Multidimensional scaling
B) Multiple discriminant analysis
C) Two-group discriminant analysis
D) Multiple regression

Accepted Answer

Multiple discriminant analysis is a multivariate dependence technique that involves more than one dependent variable. It is often used in situations where there are multiple groups or categories to be distinguished from one another based on a set of predictor variables. Multidimensional scaling, two-group discriminant analysis, and multiple regression are all multivariate techniques but involve only one dependent variable.

Question 6

________ is within-country analysis of international data.
A) Individual-level analysis
B) Pancultural analysis
C) Intracultural analysis
D) Cross-cultural analysis

Accepted Answer

Intracultural analysis is the within-country analysis of international data, focusing on variations within a single culture or society. Individual-level analysis focuses on analyzing data at the individual level, pancultural analysis focuses on comparing data across different cultures, and cross-cultural analysis focuses on comparing data between two or more cultures.

Question 7

When utilizing univariate techniques,for nonmetric data,when there is (are)________,sign,McNemar,and Wilcoxon tests can be used.
A) more than two dependent samples
B) two or more related samples
C) two independent samples
D) only one sample

Accepted Answer

The sign, McNemar, and Wilcoxon tests are all appropriate for nonmetric data with two or more related samples, making option B the correct choice. These tests are designed to compare the differences between paired or matched samples, such as before and after measurements of the same variable for the same individuals. They are not appropriate for independent samples or for a single sample.

Question 8

The objective of this level of analysis is to assess the comparability of findings from one country to another.
A) Intracultural analysis
B) Individual-level analysis
C) Pancultural analysis
D) Cross-cultural analysis

Accepted Answer

Cross-cultural analysis examines differences and similarities between cultures. Its objective is to determine the extent to which findings from one culture can be generalized to other cultures.

Question 9

The major multivariate technique for examining ________,is factor analysis.
A) interobject similarity
B) one dependent variable
C) variable interdependence
D) more than one dependent variable

Accepted Answer

Variable interdependence refers to the relationship between two or more variables. Factor analysis is a multivariate technique used to study the interdependence among variables, specifically identifying underlying factors that explain the correlations among them. Therefore, the best choice for examining variable interdependence is factor analysis.

Question 10

________ requires that the data from each respondent be analyzed separately.
A) Cross-cultural analysis
B) Pancultural analysis
C) Intracultural analysis
D) Individual-level analysis

Accepted Answer

Individual-level analysis requires that the data from each individual respondent be analyzed separately. Cross-cultural analysis compares the data from different cultures, pancultural analysis looks for similarities across all cultures, and intracultural analysis focuses on differences within a single culture.

Question 11

________ are appropriate when one or more variables can be identified as dependent variables and the remaining are independent variables.
A) Univariate techniques
B) Multivariate techniques
C) Dependence techniques
D) Interdependence techniques

Accepted Answer

Dependence techniques are used when there is a clear distinction between dependent and independent variables, allowing for the analysis of the relationship between them.

Question 12

In Excel the ________ statement can be used to make a logical check.
A) Else
B) ElseIf
C) EndIf
D) If

Accepted Answer

The "If" statement is used to make a logical check in Excel. It allows users to perform conditional evaluations of values and execute different commands based on the outcome of the evaluation. The other options listed (Else, ElseIf, EndIf) are used in conjunction with the If statement to further specify conditional behavior, but they are not standalone logical checks.

Question 13

For multivariate statistical techniques,when there is ________,multivariate analysis of variance and covariance and canonical correlation,and multiple discriminant analysis can be used.
A) one dependent variable
B) more than one dependent variable
C) variable interdependence
D) interobject similarity

Accepted Answer

Multivariate analysis of variance and covariance, canonical correlation, and multiple discriminant analysis are all designed to analyze situations with more than one dependent variable.

Question 14

________ are statistical techniques that attempt to group data based on underlying similarity,and thus allow for interpretation of the data structures.No distinction is made as to which variables are dependent and which are independent.
A) Dependence techniques
B) Interdependence techniques
C) Univariate techniques
D) Multivariate techniques

Accepted Answer

Interdependence techniques are used to group data based on similarities without distinguishing between dependent and independent variables.

Question 15

In ________,also known as across-countries analysis,the data can be aggregated for each country and these aggregate statistics analyzed.
A) Individual-level analysis
B) Cross-cultural analysis
C) Pancultural analysis
D) Intracultural analysis

Accepted Answer

Cross-cultural analysis involves comparing data across different cultures or countries. Aggregating data for each country and analyzing aggregate statistics is one way to conduct cross-cultural analysis. Individual-level analysis, intracultural analysis, and pancultural analysis all focus on analyzing data within a single culture or individual.

Question 16

In ________,also known as across-countries analysis,the data of all the respondents can be pooled and analyzed.
A) Individual-level analysis
B) Pancultural analysis
C) Intracultural analysis
D) Cross-cultural analysis

Accepted Answer

Pancultural analysis involves pooling and analyzing data from respondents across different countries or cultures.

Question 17

Univariate techniques can be classified based on ________.
A) whether one,or two or more samples are involved
B) whether the data are metric or nonmetric
C) whether interdependence techniques or dependence techniques are to be used
D) A and B are correct

Accepted Answer

Univariate techniques can be classified based on whether one or two or more samples are involved (A) and whether the data are metric or nonmetric (B). Therefore, A and B are correct. However, there is no classification of univariate techniques based on whether interdependence techniques or dependence techniques are to be used (C).
