These limitations A)involve the lack of highly technological measurement devices. B)can be corrected by using more complex statistical analyses. C)cannot be corrected by using more complex statistical analyses. D)can be corrected in the data analysis phase. 53)The purpose of control is to A)make it possible to draw several conclusions from the data. B)encourage a variety of explanations. C)eliminate alternative explanations for results. D)make the research less expensive to conduct. 54)Which of the following statements is accurate? A)We need not be cautious when interpreting data from a low-constraint study. B)No statistical analysis will create the controls that were not part of the original study. C)One of the important uses of statistical analyses is to create controls that were missing from the original study. D)The purpose of control is to uncover alternative explanations for results.Â
