What is a double-barreled question? It is asking two questions in one.
600
In this type of design, a researcher must obtain two equivalent groups of participants (one group acting as the experimental group and the other as the control group), manipulate the IV, and measure the effect of the DV.
What is posttest-only design 
600
These are different types of physiological measures.
What are galvanic skin response, electromyogram, electroencephalogram, MRI, and functional MRI?

To examine the effects of drug therapy on depression, Mark found 45 studies in which adults diagnosed with depression and undergoing a drug therapy were examined. Studies that included other additional treatments were excluded. He then performed a statistical analysis of the results of these 45 studies and concluded that drug therapy was effective in treating depression. In this scenario, Mark has most likely conducted this.
