Answer to Question 1

THE ORIGINAL PERCENTAGE EXPERIENCING SIDE EFFECTS MAY BE SMALL (FOR EXAMPLE 2) SO TAKING A DRUG TO REDUCE THESE ALREADY SMALL CHANCES BY 50 (FROM 2 TO 1 IN THIS CASE) MIGHT NOT MAKE PRACTICAL OR ETHICAL SENSE.

Answer to Question 2

ONLY THOSE STUDENTS AT THAT UNIVERSITY WHO TOOK GENERAL PSYCHOLOGY 101, OR STUDENTS SIMILAR TO THEM.
