Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Feedback:
Key criteria for inferring causality include: (1) a cause (independent variable) must precede an effect (outcome); (2) there must be a detectable relationship between a cause and an effect; and (3) the relationship between the two does not reflect the influence of a third (confounding) variable. The ability to randomly assign study participants to groups is not a key criterion for causality but rather is a method of preventing systematic bias.
