Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 1EA
Two studies (Hughes, Cutting, & Dunn, 2001; Hughes et al., 2002) have demonstrated a new observational technique for assessing disruptive behavior in young children. The technique involves observing disruptive behaviors that are triggered while the children play a competitive card game (Snap) that is rigged to ensure that they experience a losing streak. The situation is contrived to produce frustration (the kids cannot win), which often leads to a disruptive outburst.
- Briefly explain the difference between naturalistic observation and contrived observation. Is the Snap technique an example of naturalistic or contrived observation? What is the major advantage of contrived observation?
- Prepare a list of five specific behaviors that you would consider to be examples of disruptive behavior for children in the Snap game.

Why an interval estimate for the population is preferred to a point estimate? Discuss
In real business practices, do researchers always have knowledge of or know the population mean, under study? If Yes, discuss. If No, discuss.
There is no difference(s) between an interval estimate and a confidence interval estimate. If true , explain. If false, explain. How does this relate to sampling distribution and casuality?
