Researchers often use factorial designs because _____.
they allow us to see the interaction of factors |
||
they more closely approximate the real-world |
||
both a and b |
||
none of the above |
A factorial design allows the researcher to study the effect of each independent variable on each dependent variable as well as the effects of interactions between the independent variables on the dependent variable
Factorial designs can test limits; to test whether an independent variable effects different kinds of people, or people in different situations, the same way.
Factorial designs are more efficient than OFAT experiments. They provide more information at similar or lower cost. They can find optimal conditions faster than OFAT experiments. Factorial designs allow additional factors to be examined at no additional cost.
Hence both a and b
