    Question

The unadjusted means are 18 milliseconds for both groups. After controlling for age, the adjusted means are 20 milliseconds for the control group and 16 milliseconds for the experimental group. Which multivariate relationship does this indicate?


    1. FALSE: Confounding
    2. FALSE: Simpson’s paradox
    3. TRUE: Suppressor effect
    4. FALSE: Chain of relationships
