Suppose you are interested in studying how prior exposure can affect color preference, but you know that color preferences are also a function of ethnic background. You could increase your study's sensitivity by studying only one ethnic group.
 
  There is a problem inherent in this approach, which is that
   
 a. your results would not be generalizable beyond the ethnic group you studied.
  b. you would have to use a larger sample to be sure your results were valid.
  c. you would have to use several levels of prior exposure to be sure you were getting an accurate picture of the relationship between exposure and preference.
  d. you don't know which ethnic group prefers which colors.

Question 2

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
