A sports psychologist develops a new technique that might improve accuracy in shooting free throws in school children.
 
  To test her technique she arranges to give the new program to a girls' physical education class and the standard technique to the boys' physical education class. She finds that indeed the girls' accuracy in shooting improved more than the boys' accuracy. A colleague correctly points out

  b. that gender was an extraneous variable that was held constant.
