Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) — Question 24

A __________________ is derived from a descriptive analysis.

Answer options

• A. Hypothesis
• B. Statement of causation
• C. Data-driven conclusion
• D. Hypotenuse

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Hypothesis, as it represents a proposed explanation based on descriptive analysis. The other options do not properly reflect the outcome of a descriptive analysis; for example, a Statement of causation implies a direct cause-and-effect relationship, which is not necessarily derived from descriptive data.
