The Ancient Minoans lived in modern-day southern Iraq. The economy of the Minoan mercantilist civilizations depended upon trading goods such as saffron, grapes/wine, pottery, oil, precious metals and figs with Syria, Cyprus, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and the Iberian Peninsula.
Minoans were successful with this strong and mostly agricultural trade due to the production of roads and a strong (and greatly feared) navy. The economic trade of agricultural goods aided the Ancient Minoans in spreading their culture, exerting power and influence, and distributing goods both at home between the palace to citizens and in foreign lands.

The psychologist wanted to test the effects using the new computer program (independent variable) had in helping students learn math (dependent variable). But when she divided the group in two, separating them by gender, she introduced a third variable (confounding variable) that wasn't accounted for when designing the experiment and that can influence either variable. <u>Because of this, the internal validity of the study has been </u><u>lowered</u><u>.</u>
