NASA spinoff technologies are commercial products and services which have been developed with the help of NASA, through research and development contracts, such as Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or STTR awards, licensing of NASA patents, use of NASA facilities, technical assistance from NASA personnel, or data from NASA research. Information on new NASA technology that may be useful to industry is available in periodical and website form in "NASA Tech Briefs", while successful examples of commercialization are reported annually in the NASA publication "Spinoffs". The Spinoff publication has documented more than 2,000 technologies over time.
Answer:
Part A:
The cofounding variable is a factor that could cause a result on the experiment. This would be the people taking extra food.
Independent variable would be being asked to sign in or not and take free food, because independent variable is a variable that is changed or manipulated and in this case the people were split in half and the hypothesis is that the people who didn't sign in would take more food.
Operational definitions are important when conducting research because it defines all the variables in the experiment, so it can be replicated. The operational def for the dependent variable would be "Doing the right thing even though you aren't being watched"
Part B:
The data does not support the hypothesis because even the people who signed in could've taken extra food when the dean wasn't looking. The findings cannot be generalized to all students because some students could have been taught better and can differentiate between right and wrong. So the people who were not signed in could've just taken one burger and drink, and the people who were signed in might feel obligated to take more than one burger because they had signed in and didn't just come without signing in.
The study is not a naturalistic observation because the observer did not look at the people who took the food and which side took more food.
Stress, depression, being lazy. There can be many factors. Hope this helps!!

As I watched, the sun broke weakly through, brightened the rich red of the fawns, and kindled their white spots.” E.B. White, “Twins” Poems and Sketches Analysis: What kind of flames does kindled imply? How does this verb suit the purpose of the sentence?
