#1. Consequently, to compare the statistics knowledge test scores
obtained by participants in the three groups, the researcher should use
which of the following statistical techniques?
a) analysis of covariance (ANCOVA)
b) randomized block ANOVA
c) multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA)
,split-plot ANOVA - Precise Answer ✔✔a) analysis of covariance
(ANCOVA)

discovery process
d) only management should be included in the discovery process -
Precise Answer ✔✔a) stakeholders of the organization are included in

Scores on a predictor that will be used to estimate job performance
rating range from 0 to 200. If the predictor's cutoff score is raised from
130 to 150, this will have which of the following effects?
a) increase the number of true positives
b) increase the number of true positives and true negatives
c) decrease the number of false positives
d) decrease the number of false positives and false negatives - Precise
Answer ✔✔c) decrease the number of false positives
You are asked by the court to evaluate a 70-year old woman to help
determine her competence. She is apparently disoriented and confused
and has substantial memory loss. You have recently taken a weekend
workshop on the use of a new computerized assessment technique for
, people with symptoms like those exhibited by this woman, and you feel
this method of assessment would be especially valid in this situation.
Further, you had taken the workshop specifically because you want to
expand your practice by being qualified to conduct competency-related
evaluations for the court. Your best course of action would be to:
a) use the program to assess the woman
b) use the program to assess the woman but, when testifying in court,
discuss the potential limitations of your conclusions
c) use the program to assess the woman but confirm your conclusions
before testifying by consulting with the developer of the assessment
technique
d) - Precise Answer ✔✔d) refer the woman to someone who is more
familiar with this type of evaluation
The assessment of patients with Alzheimer's disease is an ongoing
process due to the degenerative nature of the disease and the consequent
need to alter the nature of the treatment plan. During the 4th or 5th years
of the disorder, an assessment is most likely to find which of the
following?
a) deficits in new learning with remote memory mildly to moderately
impaired; anomia; sadness
b) severe impairments in recent and remote memory; fluent aphasia;
indifference or irritability; restlessness
c) severe impairments in memory and executive functioning; motor
rigidity; confusion and delusions
d) severely disturbed intellectual functioning; limb rigidity and flexion
posture; apathy; seizures - Precise Answer ✔✔b) severe impairments in
