Title: The null hypothesis might be retained because: Post by: leahtrevino on Mar 13, 2018 The null hypothesis might be retained because:
a. the null hypothesis is true. b. the alternative hypothesis is false. c. the design was not powerful enough. d. Any of these are true. Ques. 2 Power is in part a function of a. the homogeneity of the subjects on the independent variables. b. how the hypothesis was stated. c. sample size. d. All of these are true. Ques. 3 A researcher's theory that teaching the alphabet backwards shortens the time to learn letters was not found to be statistically significant. It could be that a. this method of teaching letters is not helpful. b. the method of teaching letters is helpful but there were problems with the design of the study. c. the method of teaching letters is helpful but the design lacked the power to reject the false null hypothesis. d. All of these are true. e. None of these is true. Ques. 4 If researchers find negative results, they should a. redesign the study to correct for any errors. b. report the negative outcome. c. rethink the literature review with the unexpected outcome in mind. d. All of these are true. Ques. 5 Some researchers did not find the hypothesized relationship between children's diet and success in school. However, they discovered that mother's occupation was very important to children's success. What would you recommend to these researchers? a. The researchers' report should mention only the lack of relationship between diet and success. b. The researchers' report should focus on the relationship between mother's occupation and children's success. c. The researchers' report should focus on the lack of relationship between diet and success but mention the relationship between mother's occupation and children's success. d. The researchers should redesign the study so that relationship between both hypotheses are clearly defined and understood. Ques. 6 If an unhypothesized relationship is found while conducting quantitative research, it should a. not be reported. b. be reported as a side note to the findings of the original hypothesis. c. be substituted for the original hypothesis if it is statistically significant enough. d. None of these are true. Ques. 7 When the results of a study are opposite of what was hypothesized, one should a. question the reliability and validity of the instruments used to measure the dependent variable. b. report the flaws in the methodology and design that caused the opposite results. c. report the opposite results. d. All of these are true.
