TASK 3
QUIZ 1.

1. It describes whether the study is qualitative or quantitative, it acts as the blueprint for the entire
study.
2. A Non-Experimental design that uses group that already exist.
3. It is used when the researcher is interested in the relationship between continuous variables.
4. It is used when a single group is studied at a single point in time after some treatment that is
presumed to have caused changes.
5. It is used when the researcher plans to observe changes before and after the treatment as
observed in a single group.
6. a basic experimental design where participants get randomly assigned to either receive an
intervention or not, and then the outcome of interest is measured only once after the
intervention takes place in order to determine its effect.
7. a type of experiment where participants get randomly assigned to either receive an intervention
(the treatment group) or not (the control group). The outcome of interest is measured 2 times,
once before the treatment group gets the intervention — the pretest — and once after it — the
posttest.
8. a type of experiment where participants get randomly assigned to either 1 of 4 groups that differ
in whether the participants receive the treatment or not, and whether the outcome of interest is
measured once or twice in each group.
9. an experimental design where the experimental units are in groups called blocks. The treatments
are randomly allocated to the experimental units inside each block.
10. an experimental design that involves the observation of units (e.g., people, countries) over a
defined time period.
11. It is defined as including all people or items with the characteristic one wishes to understand
12. It pertains to the systematic process of selecting the group to be analyzed in the research study.
13. Base from the study of Lunenberg and Irby (2008) as cited by Barrot (2017, p.107) what is the
suggested sample size if the study design is correlational
14. A sampling scheme in which every unit in the population has a chance (greater than zero) of
being selected in the sample
15. This sampling technique is applicable in the population is small, homogeneous and readily
available
16. A sampling technique that relies on the arranging the target population according to some
ordering scheme and then select elements at regular intervals.
17. A technique used Where population embraces a number of distinct categories, the frame can be
organized into separate "strata."
18. It refers to the basic tools researchers used to gather data for specific research problems.
19. This is the most common scale used in quantitative research. Respondents were asked to rate or
rank statements according to the scale provided.
20. a series of bipolar adjectives will be rated by the respondents
21. It is gathering information about a certain condition by using senses
22. A Data gathering done through interview or questionnaire.
23. A data collection technique with the use treatment or intervention. After the chosen subjects,
participants, or respondents undergone the intervention, the effects of such treatment will be
measured.
24. It a type of interview where questions are answerable based from the respondents personal
feelings and thought. There are no suggested answer
25. It make use of interview schedule or a list questions answerable with one and only item from the
alternative responses
26. questions are prepared, with suggested answers, follow up questions are required that will allow
respondents to explain their answers
27. These are interviews you conduct with a group of participants to collect a variety of
information.

1. A fitness instructor wants to find out if a new workout routine improves endurance. She selects 12 participants and
measures the time (in minutes) they can run on a treadmill before starting the new routine. After four weeks of
following the new workout plan, the participants' running times are measured again. The treadmill running times
before the workout plan are: 52, 48, 55, 49, 60, 53, 47, 58, 54, 50, 51, 56 minutes.
After completing the workout routine, their times are: 58, 50, 59, 52, 63, 57, 49, 61, 57, 54, 53, 60 minutes. At a
significance level of 0.05, is there enough evidence to suggest that the new workout routine significantly improves
treadmill endurance?

2. A psychologist wants to evaluate the effectiveness of a stress management workshop for college students. To measure
its impact, she conducts a survey assessing the stress levels of 15 students on a scale of 1 to 100 before and after
attending the workshop.
The stress levels before attending the workshop are:
72, 85, 78, 65, 80, 74, 90, 67, 82, 77, 88, 84, 69, 76, 83.
After completing the workshop, their stress levels are:
65, 80, 72, 60, 75, 70, 85, 62, 78, 72, 81, 78, 63, 70, 77.
At a 0.05 significance level, is there evidence to conclude that the stress management workshop significantly reduced
students' stress levels?

3. A school principal wants to determine if there is a significant difference in the effectiveness of two different teaching
methods. Two groups of students, each with 10 members, are taught the same subject but using different methods:
Method A (traditional lecture) and Method B (interactive learning).
After a month of teaching, both groups take the same exam. The scores (out of 100) are as follows:
Group A (Traditional Method): 78, 85, 82, 74, 88, 80, 77, 83, 79, 81
Group B (Interactive Learning): 85, 90, 87, 83, 89, 86, 92, 84, 88, 91
At a significance level of 0.05, is there enough evidence to suggest a difference in the average exam scores between
the two teaching methods?
4. A researcher is studying whether age affects reaction times to a stimulus. She randomly selects two groups of
participants: Group A consists of 12 young adults aged 20-30, and Group B consists of 12 older adults aged 50-60. Each
participant’s reaction time (in milliseconds) to a visual stimulus is recorded.
The reaction times for each group are:
Group A (Young Adults): 320, 310, 295, 305, 315, 300, 290, 330, 325, 295, 310, 300
Group B (Older Adults): 380, 390, 375, 370, 360, 385, 395, 400, 375, 365, 380, 390
At a significance level of 0.05, is there a significant difference in the average reaction times between the two age
groups?

5. A researcher wants to compare the math proficiency of students from two different schools. Due to differences in
teaching styles, the researcher suspects that the variability in scores might differ between the two groups.
The test scores of 15 students from School A and 12 students from School B are as follows:
School A: 78, 85, 80, 72, 89, 76, 83, 77, 84, 82, 75, 81, 90, 87, 79
School B: 88, 91, 85, 92, 89, 94, 90, 86, 93, 87, 84, 88
At a significance level of 0.05, is there a significant difference in the average math test scores between students from
the two schools?

6. A pharmaceutical company is testing the effectiveness of two different medications (Drug A and Drug B) on reducing
blood pressure. Due to varying patient responses, it is believed that the variance in blood pressure reduction might
not be the same for both drugs.
The blood pressure reductions (in mmHg) for 10 patients using Drug A and 8 patients using Drug B are:
Drug A: 12, 15, 10, 14, 13, 18, 16, 11, 17, 19
 Drug B: 22, 19, 25, 23, 21, 24, 20, 26
At a significance level of 0.05, is there evidence to suggest a difference in the effectiveness of the two drugs in
reducing blood pressure?
