7. Strategies & Designs--$100 • The goal of this research strategy is to establish a cause-effect relationship. • answer

8. Strategies & Designs --$200 • The goal of this research strategy is to describe the relationship between two variables as they naturally occur in the environment. • answer

9. Strategies & Designs --$300 • A researcher manipulates this variable because it is the presumed cause of behavior. • answer

10. Strategies & Designs --$400 • This results when other variables are allowed to vary systematically with the independent variable, leading to ambiguous results. • answer

11. Strategies & Designs --$500 • This type of variable is treated like an independent variable statistically but it was not manipulated by the experimenter. • answer
