If you wanted to determine whether people are faster at responding to a high intensity light than to a low intensity light you might do an experiment in which participants push a button whenever either a high or low intensity light occurs. If you were concerned with order effects such as learning but also concerned that an equal number of low- and high-intensity trials be presented, you might use
 
  A) randomization within blocks.
  B) control variables.
  C) a confounding variable.
  D) reverse ordering.

Question 2

  A) controlling all extraneous variables.
  B) selecting a random sample of participants.
  C) having a lot of random variables in the experiment.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
