Answer to Question 1

RESEARCHERS MEASURE THINGS DIFFERENTLY; SOME DO A BETTER JOB THAN OTHERS. MEASUREMENTS THAT ARE INAPPROPRIATE OR INACCURATE CAN LEAD TO MISLEADING RESULTS. FOR EXAMPLE, IN ESTIMATING THE PERCENTAGE OF HUNGRY' CHILDREN, A SURVEY ASKED CHILDREN IF THEY HAD EVER BEEN HUNGRY. WHO WOULD SAY NO TO THAT?

Answer to Question 2
