The correct answer to this open question is the following.

According to your question, there are only two parts to be answered, a) and b).

Being that the case, we can comment on the following.

A) This is an observational study and not an experiment because the research was only limited to observation, participants never receive any kind of treatment or another interaction to experiment with them.

B) Who were the subjects of the study?

The subjects of this study were women aged 65 and older who were tracked for several years. The observation revealed that those women who had a vitamin B12 deficiency were twice as likely to suffer severe depression as those who did not.

So, according to the American Journal of Psychology, these were the women observed during the study. There were no more experiments, interactions, or activities applied to them in order to consider it an experiment.

Let's remember that in order to consider an experiment as such, there has to be another component of the study, and the experimental part of it that has to be tested and proved passing the scientific method to conclude in something valid.

What will the destruction of tundra vegetation likely result in?
Soloha48 [4]
The Tundra is a place that should stay undisturbed.  If the tundras were destroyed animals, plants, and bugs would have no other place to go.  Here is my reasoning right now cities are being built so animals are being pushed further away and they are inhabiting the land.  If that land is destroyed a decrease in biodiversity, animals, plants, and bugs will occur.

mixer [17]

Answer:

A. approximately three-quarters (76 percent) of the subjects will conform to the group's judgment on at least one critical trial

Explanation:

Solomon Asch's conducted an experiment to determine how social pressure from a majoritywould affect a person to conform. In psychology, conformity is the likelihood of a person to follow the behavior of the social group an individual belongs to. In each experiment, a naive student was placed in a room with several other confederates who agreed in advance what their responses would be when presented with the line task without the real participant knowing. After line task was presented,  the confederates began answering the questions correctly. However eventually began providing incorrect answers based on how they had been instructed by the experimenters. They were 18 trials and the confederates provided 12 wrong answers. The purpose of this experiment was to see if the participant would conform to that of the others in the group.

The result at the end of the experiment showed that approximately three-quarters (76 percent) of the subjects will conform to the group's judgment on at least one critical trial.
