  2. B

    The number of occurrences divided by the observation time.

  3. C

    The number of occurrences stated with the observation period.

  4. D

One observation records 9 hand raises in 15 minutes, and another records 18 hand raises in 30 minutes. Which comparison of their rates per minute is correct?

  1. A

    9 hand raises in 15 minutes has the higher rate.

  2. B

    18 hand raises in 30 minutes has the higher rate.

  3. C

    Neither rate can be compared because the counts differ.

  4. D

    The records have the same rate.

A researcher observes a brief behavior that has a clear beginning and end, such as raising a hand. Which approach best measures how often it occurs?

  1. A

    Count each occurrence and record how long the observation lasts.

  2. B

    Record only whether the behavior happened at least once.

  3. C

    Estimate the behavior's intensity instead of counting it.

  4. D

    Report the count without recording the observation period.

Before observing repeated calls that may be separated by pauses, what should an observer do to support consistent counting?

  1. A

    Count every pause as a new occurrence.

  2. B

    Let each observer decide during the session whether a call counts.

  3. C

    Specify whether calls separated by a pause are one episode or multiple occurrences, then use the rule consistently.

  4. D

    Avoid defining the behavior and rely on the total count to resolve differences.

An observer records a behavior count and the observation duration in hours. Which approach gives a rate with a correctly matched time unit?

  1. A

    Divide the count by the number of hours and label the result as occurrences per minute.

  2. B

    Divide the count by the number of hours and label the result as occurrences per hour.

  3. C

    Multiply the count by the number of hours and label the result as occurrences per hour.

  4. D

    Report the count alone; the duration does not affect the rate unit.

Select all statements that correctly apply the chapter’s guidance about the time units in a rate calculation.

  1. A

    For 12 occurrences observed over 30 minutes, 12 divided by 30 gives occurrences per minute.

  2. B

    For 12 occurrences observed over 30 minutes, 12 multiplied by 30 gives occurrences per minute.

  3. C

    A result calculated using minutes should be labeled with a time unit that reflects minutes.

  4. D

    A rate has no time unit because the count is a whole number.

Select all accurate interpretations of how the recorded time unit determines the time unit in a rate.

  1. A

    Dividing a count by a duration in hours automatically gives occurrences per minute.

  2. B

    Dividing a count by a duration in minutes gives occurrences per minute.

  3. C

    A rate calculated from a duration in minutes should be labeled per hour.

  4. D

    If the duration is expressed in hours and used as recorded, the resulting rate is per hour.
