C. Chi-square test = A researcher examined whether being assigned a social worker affected where homeless youth slept, including on the street, in a shelter, or with friends.
D. Multiple regression with control variables = In a school district, some students with disabilities were assigned to have a teacher’s assistant attend classes with them, while other students with disabilities were assigned to spend the school day in a separate classroom. A researcher wanted to determine which condition led to greater student happiness. By chance, many more students with physical disabilities were in the first group, while more students with learning disabilities were in the second group. The study found that male students are more likely to have learning disabilities than female students.
