3. Concisely describe the experimental design and how it allows inferences with respect to the hypotheses. What are the important criteria for selecting subjects? Would these criteria cause any problem? (2 points)
4. What are the sources of error in this design? Does this design effectively control these errors? If so, how? If not, why not, and can you think of better design to preclude confounds? (2 points)
