Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Quasi-experimental design is when the investigator manipulates the independent variable but without either randomization or control.
Rationale 2: Experimental design is one in which the investigator manipulates the independent variable by administering an experimental treatment to some participants while withholding it from others. This would be the situation if some of the participants were exposed to new products while others were not.
Rationale 3: In a nonexperimental design, the investigator does no manipulation of the independent variable.
Rationale 4: A pilot study is a test study before the actual one begins and is not a type of research design.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: This option is an example of an independent variable, or something that can cause or have an influence on the dependent variable.

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.
