Question 1 (6 points) Listen Suppose a meta-analytic study identified study design (i.e., experiment v survey) as a moderator and found it to be significant. That means A) The distribution of effects sizes across studies can be partially explained by study design B) The distribution of effects is partially explained by sample size C) Study design has no effect on the distribution of effect sizes across studies D) All studies of one type had a larger effect size than studies of the other type

Step 1
Step 1: When a meta-analytic study identifies a moderator as significant, it means that the moderator variable has a significant effect on the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable. Show more…

Determine whether the study is an experiment or an observational study, and then identify a major problem with the study. In a survey, 1465 Internet users chose to respond to this question posted on a newspaper's electronic edition: "Is news online as satisfying as print and TV news?" 52% of the respondents said "yes." This is an ________________observational study experiment because the researchers________________________ apply a treatment to do not attempt to modify the individuals. What is a major problem with the study? A. The sample is not very large. B. There is no blinding or replication, which has a high chance of leading to bias. C. The results apply only to Internet users. D. This is a convenience sample with voluntary response, which has a high chance of leading to bias.

Read each brief report of statistical research, and identify a) whether it was an observational study or an experiment. If it was an observational study, identify (if possible) b) whether it was retrospective or prospective. c) the subjects studied and how they were selected. d) the parameter of interest. e) the nature and scope of the conclusion the study can reach. If it was an experiment, identify (if possible) b) the subjects studied. c) the factor(s) in the experiment and the number of levels for each. e) the response variable measured. f) the design (completely randomized, blocked, or matched). g) whether it was blind (or double-blind). h) the nature and scope of the conclusion the experiment can reach. Pew Research compared respondents to an ordinary 5 -day telephone survey with respondents to a 4 -monthlong rigorous survey designed to generate the highest possible response rate. They were especially interested in identifying any variables for which those who responded to the ordinary survey were different from those who could be reached only by the rigorous survey.
A study is conducted to investigate whether customer satisfaction is greater among computer companies that offer tech support versus those that do not offer tech support. A random sample of 50 customers are selected from among those that purchased computers that offer tech support. A separate random sample of 40 customers are selected from among those that purchased computers that do not offer tech support. The study found that the mean satisfaction rating was significantly greater among customers that purchased computers that offer tech support. Which of the following is the best description of this study? (A) An experiment using a completely randomized design. (B) An experiment using a randomized block design. (C) An experiment using a matched pairs design. (D) An observational study using a simple random sample. (E) An observational study using a stratified sample.
