A BIU A Cheaters scope of inference Exercise 1 5 introduces a study where researchers studying the relationship between honesty age and self control conducted an experiment on 160 children between the ages of 5 and 15 The researchers asked each child to toss a fair coin in private and to record the outcome white or black on a paper sheet and said they would only reward children who report white Half the students were explicitly told not to cheat and the others were not given any explicit instructions Differences were observed in the cheating rates in the instruction and no instruction groups as well as some differences across children s characteristics within each group a Identify the population of interest in the study 160 children between the ages of 5 and 15 80 children between the ages of 5 and 15 who were told not to cheat All children between the ages of 5 and 15 The researchers b Identify the sample for this study c Can the results of the study can be generalized to the population Should the findings of the study can be used to establish causal relationships 160 children between the ages of 5 and 15 All children between the ages of 5 and 15 80 children between the ages of 5 and 15 who were told not to cheat The researchers If the sample is randomly selected and representative of the entire population then the results can be generalized to the target population Furthermore since this study is observational the results cannot be used to infer causal relationships If the sample is randomly selected and representative of the entire population then the results can be generalized to the target population Furthermore since this study is experimental the findings can be used to infer causal relationships If the sample is randomly selected and representative of the entire population then the results can be generalized to the target population Furthermore since this study is observational the findings can be used to infer causal relationships If the sample is randomly selected and representative of the entire population then the results can be generalized to the target population Furthermore since this study is experimental the findings cannot be used to infer causal relationships 7 Editor Suggestions Showing MacBook Proy Ctri
