Correlationaland Experimental Research DesignsDescribetwoscenarioswhereyouwillusecorrelationalresearch.Explainwhyexperimental research cannot be used in those scenarios.The first scenario that could be considered is “people who are heavy drinkers get lowergrades in their college”. In this scenario an experimental design is not possible and hence thedata points that would be collected for research would be more focused on the correlationalaspect of the drinking habit and the grades that they get in college.Eventually the result ofthe research would show that drinking would lead to lower grades as the possible deductionhas not be ruled out. It is possible that drinking is correlated to grades, but that would be theexecutional aspect of the research(Wiscedu,2015).Similarly the second scenario would be a research that people who wereill-treatedas a childwould eventually become a child abuser. In this case as well experimental design is notpossible and hence correlation design for research will have to be done(Wiscedu,2015).Describetwoscenarioswhereyouwilluseexperimentalresearch.Explainwhycorrelational research cannot be used in those scenarios.First scenario which could be considered for experimental research design would be peopleprefer mobile app rather than website using laptops or desktops. In this type of researchsegments and the variables such as mobile app usage could be altered to see the effect on theresearch study.The different groups that could be focused could be as per the needs of usagepattern.The second scenario that could be considered for experimental research would be, “professordecides to teach the students using a different methodology andcheckwhetherthe technique
