A. |
B. |
True or false: Deciding what needs to be measured is an important part of stating the research question.
A. |
B. |
True or false: Planning how to collect and analyze data before collecting data is a critical part of statistical problem solving.
A. |

True or false: If data are not properly collected, then statistical inference will not be valid.
A. |
B. |
True or false: Statistics is only used in the SOLVE step of statistical problem solving.
A. |
B. |
True or false: It is not necessary to compute values for statistical inference in the SOLVE step when inference is not being done.
A. |
B. |
True or false: Valid conclusions are based solely on the results from the SOLVE step.
A. |

True or false: The results of a study could be biased if data are not properly collected.
A. |
B. |
True or false: Statistical graphics and statistical numerical summaries of data are never misleading.
A. |

True or false: Valid conclusions can be drawn on any data set provided the statistical analysis is done correctly.
A. |
B. |
True or false: Manipulation in steps 3 and 4 of statistical problem solving can only be done deliberately.
A. |
B. |
