Answer to Question 1

ANS: A

Feedback
A A correlational design permits collection of a large amount of data about a problem.

A Causal relationships are usually determined by experimental and quasi-experimental designs.
B Correlational or association-type designs do not involve manipulation of variables.
C Randomization can be used in various levels of research and is not reserved for associative design research.
