Answer 2 Points
Meta-Analysis Case Study
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
What is this asking? Is looking at a bunch of articles a *meta-analysis* or a *case study*? Watch out! Don't mix up *meta-analysis* (analyzing *many* studies) with *case study* (analyzing *one* thing deeply).
STEP 2
1. Define Meta-Analysis
2. Define Case Study
3. Analyze the Scenario
4. Classify the Scenario
STEP 3
A *meta-analysis* combines results from **multiple studies** to get a bigger picture.
Think of it like this: It's a study of studies!
It doesn't look at just one thing, but rather *many* things!
STEP 4
A *case study* is a **deep dive** into a **single subject**.
It's like zooming in with a microscope to understand one specific thing really, really well.
STEP 5
The town council is looking at **ten** different newspaper articles.
That's more than one, right?
Keep that number () in mind!
STEP 6
Since the council is reviewing *ten* articles, they're looking at multiple sources of information.
This aligns with the definition of a **meta-analysis**, which combines results from multiple studies.
They're trying to get a general idea about crime prevention from several articles, not deeply studying just one thing!
STEP 7
The scenario is a **Meta-Analysis**.
