Q:
While reviewing staffing plans for a new pilot plant, Colin Chenaux, VP of Operations at Clovis Chemicals, Inc., designed an experiment to test the effects of "supervisor's style" and "training method" on the productivity of operators. The treatment levels were: (1) authoritarian, and participatory for supervisor's style, and (2) technical manuals, training films, and multimedia for training method. Three qualified applicants were randomly selected and assigned to each of the six cells. In Colin's experiment, "operator productivity" is _____________.
a) a concomitant variable

Q:
Cindy Ho, VP of Finance at Discrete Components, Inc. (DCI), theorizes that the discount level offered to credit customers affects the average collection period on credit sales. Accordingly, she has designed an experiment to test her theory using four sales discount rates (0%, 2%, 4%, and 6%). First, she classified DCI's credit customers into three categories by total assets (small, medium, and large). Then, she randomly assigned four customers from each category to a sales discount rate. In Cindy's experiment "sales discount rate" is ________.
a) a surrogate variable
b) the dependent variable
c) a blocking variable
