Judy is running an experiment in which she wants to see whether a reward program will improve the number of sales in her retail shops. (As described in previous question). She wants to use her findings with these two samples to make generalizations about the population, specifically whether rewarding employees will affect sales to all of her stores. She wants to generalize from her samples to a population, this is called

Judy is running an experiment in which she wants to see whether a reward program will improve the number of sales in her retail shops. In her experiment she rewarded the employees in her Los Angeles stores with bonuses and fun prizes whenever they sold more than 5 items to any one customer. However, the employees in Houston were treated like they always have been treated and were not given any rewards for those 2 months. Judy then compared the number of items sold by each employee in the Los Angeles (rewarded) versus Houston (not rewarded) stores. In this study, a _____________ design was used.
a. between-participant, true experimental
b. between-participant, quasi experimental
c. within-participant, true experimental
d. within-participant, quasi experimental

Judy is running an experiment in which she wants to see whether a reward program will improve the number of sales in her retail shops. Judy wants to evaluate the performance of individual sales team members. So she finds how much better (or worse) each sales person performed relative to the mean of their group. This difference between the individual’s performance and the mean for her group (x – μ). This value is call a _____________.
a. mean score
b. deviation score
c. standard deviation score
d. variance score
