Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
An intellectual critical appraisal involves careful examination of all aspects of a study to judge the strengths, weaknesses, meaning, and significance of a study.
A thorough critical appraisal contains much more than an analysis of the study's internal validity problems.
A critical appraisal points out both the strengths and weaknesses of a study.
A simple inventory of the study's problems does not constitute a good critique.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
It is appropriate to comment on the amount of information provided on the use of specific procedures, in regard to evaluating if significance has been reached.
Making statements alluding that the researcher lacks knowledge is inappropriate in a critique.
t-test is not the correct statistic to use when making comparisons between groups.
Type I errors are of more concern when there is a multiple use of t-tests.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
