If a bivariate correlational study fails to use a random sample, it should cause researchers to automatically reject the association? true or false
Narayan H.
True False 1. Based on sufficient-component cause models, eliminating only the necessary factor in a model will prevent the outcome. True False 2. Bias is introduced primarily during the analysis stage of a study. True False 3. Factors that contribute to random error include poor precision, sampling error, and selection bias True False 4. Selection bias and information bias can be reduced by increasing sample size. True False 5. Once a study has determined if the observed association is causal, then it is important to attempt to remove bias. True False 6. There is a potential for information bias in a clinical trial when the clinician who ascertains the outcome is aware of the treatment status of the participant being evaluated. True False 7. Bias can only result from flaws in the study design.
