Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

After observing that some marriages are successful and some are not (step 1) you would develop a hypothesis to try to explain the phenomenon (step 2). For example, it is possible that good communication within a marriage leads to success whereas poor communication leads to failure. Based on this hypothesis, you would make a specific research prediction (step 3). For example, if you selected 50 married couples and asked each couple to rate their level of communication and the overall quality of their marriage, you should find a strong relationship between the two variables. Next, you would empirically evaluate the hypothesis by actually selecting 50 couples and observing the two variables (step 4). Based on the outcome of the observations in step 4, you could either reject the hypothesis (if it is not communication it could be some other factor) or you could refine the original hypothesis, for example try to determine what factors lead to good (or bad) communication within a marriage (step 5).

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
