Answer: There are 4 students in the group.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students in the group be n

If one of them scored 9 more points , their average score would be 81 points.

So, our equation (1) will be

\frac{\sum x+9}{n}=81\\\\\sum x+9=81n

Similarly,

If one of them scored 3 points less, their average score would be 78 points.

So, our equation (2) will be

\frac{\sum x-3}{n}=78\\\\\sum x-3=78n

So, from equation (1) and (2) we get:

81n-9=\sum x=78n+3\\\\81n-9=78n+3\\\\81n-78n=3+9\\\\3n=12\\\\n=\frac{12}{3}\\\\n=4

Hence, there are 4 students in the group.

Answer:

Is an experimental study

Step-by-step explanation:

In an observational study you don't control any aspect of the investigation you just observe the variables that you determined since the beginning without any intervention.

In this case you are controlling who sees one or the other video, then you are controlling one of the variables that is the type of video each group sees and because of this it is an experimental study. Researchers designed an experiment to prove the null hypothesis they had.
