Question 1: What best distinguishes correlation from causation in analysis?
Correlation always implies causation in large datasets
Correlation shows relationships but not proof that one factor produces the other

Correlation and causation are interchangeable statistical terms

Avoiding feedback to maintain confidence
Belief that abilities can be developed through effort and feedback
Assuming talents are predetermined and unchangeable
Preferring short-term wins over learning
Question 3: How does exploratory research primarily differ from confirmatory research?
Exploratory requires larger sample sizes than confirmatory
Exploratory seeks hypotheses and patterns; confirmatory tests predefined hypotheses
Confirmatory research never uses statistics
Exploratory studies always prove causation
Question 4: Which feature most clearly separates system 1 (intuitive) from system 2 (deliberative) thinking?
System 1 is fast and automatic; System 2 is slow and effortful
Both systems process information identically
System 2 operates without conscious awareness
System 1 always yields more accurate decisions
Question 5: What distinguishes a leading indicator from a lagging indicator in performance measurement?
Leading indicators are always quantitative; lagging are qualitative
They are interchangeable terms for the same metric
Leading predicts future outcomes; lagging reflects past performance
Lagging indicators are always more actionable than leading ones
Question 6: In decision-making, how does satisficing differ from optimizing?
Satisficing ignores constraints and risks
Optimizing always leads to faster decisions than satisficing
They are identical strategies with different names
Satisficing selects an acceptable option quickly; optimizing seeks the best possible option after extensive search
Question 7: Which difference best captures product-market fit versus product-market gap?
A gap always implies the product is technically flawed
Fit is only about branding and not about user value
Product-market fit means customer needs are met by the product; a gap means unmet needs remain
A product-market gap means the market is saturated
Question 8: How does risk management differ between prevention-focused and recovery-focused strategies?
Recovery eliminates the need for prevention measures
Recovery strategies increase the probability of incidents
Prevention is only relevant for regulatory compliance
Prevention reduces probability of incidents; recovery focuses on minimizing impact and restoring function
