Question 7

Answer 8

A prediction statement that does not state the direction that the IV will have on the DV, byut says there will be a difference / doesnt state nature of correlation

3. Difference or correlation
   (If difference is it IGD MPD RMP

Operationalise

Question 10

Directional hypothesis example

Answer 10

The experimental condition will perform better on the DV than the control condition

There will be a +- correlation between CV1 and CV2

Question 11

Non-directional hypothesis examples

Answer 11

There will be a difference in the DV between he control condition and the experimental condition

There will be a correlation between CV1 and CV2

Question 12

Null hypothesis example

Answer 12

There will be no different in thr DV between the control and experimental conditions

There will be no correlation betweeen CV1 and CV2
