Question

When we are conducting a study that manipulates an independent variable, controls the influence of other variables, and examines the effects of a treatment on some outcome, we are conducting Qualitative research O Quantitative research Suppose that we plan to study the effect of an educational program on student achievement. If we say that we think that the program will increase achievement scores we are making a(n): O relationship deductive conclusion O research problem hypothesis A researcher gave a series of wellness workshops over a six-month period and then determined that five of the participants had quit smoking during the six-month period. The researcher's interpretation was that the workshops caused the decrease in smoking. Is this interpretation flawed? Why or why not? Yes. It is flawed because other history may have operated.
