Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Correlation and cross-tabulation are both methods used for examining relationships or associations between variables, making them forms of association analysis. Option A (differences) is not correct as it refers to comparing means or percentages between different groups. Option C (predictive) is not correct because correlation and cross-tabulation do not necessarily aim to make predictions. Option D (inference) is not correct as inference analysis is concerned with making conclusions about a larger population based on a sample. Option E (descriptive) is partially correct as these methods do describe the relationships between variables, but association analysis is a more specific and accurate term.
