Answer to Question 1

ANY REASONABLE ANSWERS OK. EXAMPLES: RECORDING THE DATA ERRONEOUSLY TO MATCH THE DESIRED OUTCOME; TREATING SUBJECTS DIFFERENTLY BASED ON WHICH CONDITION THEY ARE RECEIVING (NOT BEING BLINDED); SUBTLY LETTING THE SUBJECTS KNOW THE DESIRED OUTCOME; EXPERIMENTER EFFECT.

Answer to Question 2

IT IS IMPRACTICAL AND MANY TIMES UNETHICAL TO SUBJECT SOMEONE TO AN EXPERIMENT WITHOUT THEM VOLUNTEERING FOR IT.

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. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. 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.
