You are running a simple study to determine if time of day affects student test performance. One
  group takes a test at 9 AM, the other group takes the same test at 6 PM.
 
  During the afternoon
  session, the group seems distracted by the school band, which is practicing nearby, but the
  students finish the test on-time with no apparent problems. When you analyze the results, you
  find the morning group performed significantly better than the evening group. What should you
  conclude?
  A) The results are valid because researchers cannot always control factors like noise.
  B) The results are valid because the difference was significant.
  C) The results may be invalid because time of day affects mental performance.
  D) The results may be invalid because the band's noise was an extraneous variable.
