- Question 3
2/2
In a survey in which the results are obtained from a representative random sample of a population, which of the following is true?
The results can be generalized to that population.
The sample can only be obtained by simple random sampling.
The sampling procedure is similar to that used in most experimental research.
None of the above
- Question 4

- Question 5
2/2
A team of researchers is interested in conducting an experiment to test an important theory. In order to draw appropriate conclusions from any experiment they conduct, which of the following statements is true?
The experimental sample must be representative of the population to which they want to generalize the research on dimensions of age, sex, and intelligence.
The experimental sample must be representative of the population to which they want to generalize the research on all dimensions.
The experimental sample must be representative of the population to which they want to generalize the research on all dimensions that can be measured in that population.
The experimental sample must be representative of the population to which they want to generalize the research on all dimensions relevant to the process being studied.
