Answer:

The researcher is confounding the sweetness of the cereal and the colour of the cereal.

Explanation:

Based on the results, it would be unclear if the subjects prefer the cereal because of the colour or because of the sweetness --it is only the latter the researcher wants to know about. This would be the dependent variable.

To fix this, the researcher should use the same colour for both sweetened and unsweetened cereal and have each preschooler try both. It is possible to colect data through observation (look at the children's reactions) or simply asking for their opinions at the end of the experiment.

Que piensas sobre la sociedad y el mundo en el que vivimos ?
ratelena [41]

Answer:

La sociedad mundial está camino al caos. Las contradicciones, el egoísmo, la soberbia, la codicia, las armas, la ignorancia, el hambre, las drogas están minando la historia, acabando con el futuro, con el planeta, con la naturaleza y con la especie humana. La confusión de la Torre de Babel y el desastre del diluvio, nos están amenazando. La tragedia de Abel y Caín se repite entre pueblos, clases y países. No bastaron dos guerras mundiales en el siglo pasado para que tomáramos escarmiento. Pero la barbarie, la incivilización, la violencia nos acechan constantemente. Una parte del mundo, por cierto importante, empuja la carreta de la historia con energías atómicas, velocidad cósmica y con técnicas nanométricas.
