A study of human development showed two types of movies to groups of children. Crackers were available in a bowl, and the investigators compared the number of crackers eaten by children watching the different kinds of movies. One kind of movie was shown at 8 AM (right after the children had breakfast) and another at 11 AM (right before the children had lunch). It was found that during the movie shown at 11 AM, more crackers were eaten than during the movie shown at 8 AM. The investigators concluded that the different types of movies had an effect on appetite. The results cannot be trusted because

the time the movie was shown is a confounding variable.

the study was not double-blind. Neither the investigators nor the children should have been aware of which movie was being shown.

the investigators were biased. They knew beforehand what they hoped the study would show.

the investigators should have used several bowls, with crackers randomly placed in each.

Select the true statements.

In an experiment, one variable is manipulated and the responses are measured.

Medical experiments, such as one to compare aspirin with a placebo for preventing heart attacks, are often double blind. This means that...

subjects choose which treatment they get, but do not tell the doctors.

all individual data are kept confidential.

subjects are told either their treatment or their medical condition.

A study compares the effect on college students of two different TV advertisements for spring break in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Call the ads "Ad #1" and "Ad #2". We want to know which ad makes more students want to visit Gulf Shores during spring break. The subjects are 90 students taking a course in hotel management. The design of the study looks like the picture above. A weakness of this study is...

Because the students all come from one course, the findings may not extend to all college students.

This is an observational study, so we can't conclude that the ad viewed causes the response.

The double-blind technique was not used.

Two variables in a study are said to be confounding if...

you cannot separate their effects on the response variable

if one cause and increase in the other
