statement is true. Data collection will become easier as technology improves which
will lead to an increase in raw data.


3. True or False?
The first step in the Davenport-Kim three-stage model is to frame the problem
by recognizing what the problem is and then reviewing previous findings to
begin to structure the analysis: This statement is true. Stage #1 is to frame the
problem by recognizing what the problem is and then reviewing previous findings
to begin to structure the analysis. Stage #2 is to solve the problem. Stage #3 is the


,communicate your findings


4. True or False?

ent variables and take note of the effects: This statement is false. Observational
studies are used when it is impractical or impossible to control the conditions of the
