Are Testable and Falsifiable part of experimental hypothesis? (T or F)
T
Testable - The means for manipulating antecedent
conditions and measuring the resulting behavior
must exist
Falsifiable- Can be disprovable by the research findings
Testable questions does not focus on empirical questions and does not need falsifiability. T or F?
F
As they do need focus and falsifiability
How do you establish a cause and effect?
a. look into temporal relationships
b. look at past events
c. none of the above
a. look into temporal relationships
How do Discrete and Continuous differ?
A. Both are adjacent values but Discrete has no intermediate values whilst Continuous has further intermediate values.
B. Both are adjacent values but Continuous has no intermediate values whilst Discrete has further intermediate values.
C. None of the Above
A. Both are adjacent values but Discrete has no intermediate values whilst Continuous has further intermediate values.

In Science there is a need for limitations? Why do you think so? (T or F)
T
there are non-empirical questions that cannot be answered by science
Is it True that we need necessary and sufficient conditions in a scientific explanation? (T or F)
T
The cause and effect relationships of scientific research usually involve identifying sufficient conditions
Is this the correct explanation of the independent variable relating to the dependent variable? (T or F)
it influences the dependent variable, while the dependent changes due to the treatment

In science we should always remember that tentative is not absolute (T or F)
T
As there's always a possibility that new knowledge could contradict current beliefs
