Question 3

4) Which of the following best illustrates the significance of research design?

C) Because research designs are like blueprints, they are most helpful during data analysis.

D) Research designs are used after studies are completed and are used to make improvements in future research studies.

E) Research designs are important because clients often decide to fund research if they find the design is pleasing to the eye.

Question 6

15) Experience surveys are used in which of the following ways?

D) to explore hidden consumer motives for buying goods and services by asking participants to project themselves into a situation and then respond to specific questions regarding the situation

E) to use surveys that the researchers have conducted in the past and, therefore, they have experience in how to conduct and interpret the surveys
