QUESTION 3
By definition, when a sample is less representative, it has:
A.
Not been selected randomly but is more generalizable
B.
A smaller number of cases and is less generalizable
C.
A more variable population and is more generalizable
D.

A.
Cross-sectional research design
B.
Repeated cross-sectional research design
C.
Fixed-sample panel research design
D.

QUESTION 5
A researcher is interested in the effect of the police on crime. The researcher records the size of the police force and the rate of crime in 100 communities. After analyzing the data obtained, the researcher concludes that an increase in the size of the police force causes a decrease in the rate of crime. This illustrates __________ to establishing causal relations.
A.
a random approach
B.
an experimental approach
C.
an unsystematic approach
D.
a nonexperimental approach

A.
probability
B.
representative
C.
random
D.
nonprobability
QUESTION 7

Association
B.
Time order
C.
Nonspuriousness
D.
Correlation

D.
A single-stage selection sampling procedure or a multistage selection sampling procedure
QUESTION 10
