Dr Raymond Is Lecturing on Various Statistical Analyses in Class

Dr. Raymond is lecturing on various statistical analyses in class. She notes the definition for exploratory analyses as:

A) statistical tests in which both variables are categorical and determine if the distribution of participants across categories is different than expected.
B) statistical tests where researchers look for potential differences that were not predicted prior to the study.
C) statistical tests that determine whether responses from the different conditions are essentially the same or whether the responses from at least one of the conditions differ from the others.
D) statistical tests that allow a priori decisions to test comparisons between groups predicted ahead of time.
