Question 12 (1 point) Researchers want to test the relationship between sleep and surgery performance in a hospital setting. It was ensured that Dr. Brown received only 3 hours of sleep the night before, while Dr. Smith received 9 hours. It was observed that Dr. Brown performed poorly compared to Dr. Smith. What relational hypotheses format is being tested in this scenario? Correlational Exploratory Causal Descriptive

Solution

In the context of the given question, the correct answer is Correlational

The reason is that the given scenario is trying to test the impact of one dependent variable over the other i.e. sleep on surgery performance and both these variables increase or decrease in the same proportion. This indicates they are directly correlated which forms the relational hypotheses for this study.
