Question 4

B) Causation cannot be fully established
C) There can only be two groups
D) Only 30 subjects per group are allowed

Question 5

Subjects are randomly assigned to groups in quasi-experiments.

Question 6

Quasi-experiments are great for establishing causation.

Question 7

The term "factor" is just another fancy name for independent variable

Question 8

The primary difference between an experiment and a quasi-experiment is that quasi-experiments lack true random assignment.

Question 9
