Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Observation tends to be more subjective than other types of measurement, and this is often considered less credible.
It is quite difficult to control observational methods, although it is a goal. Observation tends to be more subjective than other types of measurement, and this is often considered less credible.
Observation allows for some flexibility in data collection. Observation tends to be more subjective than other types of measurement, and this is often considered less credible.
Observation tends to be unstructured and more subjective than other types of measurement, and this is often considered less credible.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Because validity reflects the extent to which a measurement instrument actually measures the construct or concept being measured, a research consumer should look closely at the measurement tool to ensure that what was being measured in the study is valid.
Validity would not be determined from additional data analysis.
Although this is important, it would not provide validity for the study findings.
The research purpose would not provide evidence of validity.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
