locomotion‚ large brains‚ generalized teeth and diet‚ and occasionally complicated social organizations. The primate order is comprised of two suborders; the Strepsirrhini and the Haplorrhine. There are distinguishable characteristics between these two groups of primates.

measurement? a. Nominal b. Ordinal c. Interval/ratio d. Experimental Answer: c. The researchers analyzed the data as though it were at the interval/ratio level since they calculated means (the measure of central tendency that is appropriate only for interval/ratio level data) and standard deviations (the measure of dispersion for interval/ratio data) to describe their study variables. 2. What was the mean posttest empowerment score for the control group? Answer: Mean = 97.12. 3. Compare the
