Non-Experimental Methods starts at 10 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Non-Experimental Methods.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 11

Describe one situation where a correlational study would be more appropriate than an experiment.
Describe one way to reduce bias in survey research.
Explain the difference between a cross-sectional and a longitudinal study.

True or False: Correlational studies can be used to predict one variable based on another.
True or False: In a correlational study, a correlation coefficient of 0 means there is no relationship between the variables.
