Answer to Question 1

SUPPOSE YOU WERE COMPARING MEN'S HEIGHTS TO WOMEN'S HEIGHTS. IF ALL THE MEN WERE THE SAME HEIGHT, AND ALL THE WOMEN WERE THE SAME HEIGHT, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN HEIGHT WOULD BE DUE TO GENDER. BUT BECAUSE OF NATURAL VARIABILITY FROM MAN TO MAN, AND FROM WOMAN TO WOMAN, THIS MAKES IT HARDER TO CLEARLY SEE DIFFERENCES IN HEIGHT BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN.

Answer to Question 2

THE AMOUNT BY WHICH A MEASUREMENT DIFFERS FROM THE TRUE VALUE.

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.
