You are designing an experiment to test the following hypothesis: Temperature affects the ability of students to think clearly, and, therefore, students in a hotter room will have lower exam scores than students in a cooler room. For your experiment, list the following Sample size Independent variable Dependent variable Control group Experimental group Standardized variables How will you ensure that you have a random sample?

You observe that every time your neighbor, who always wears a yellow hat, walks out his front door, he gets dive bombed by a crow. From this observation, what is a testable hypothesis? What is your prediction based on your hypothesis? Please design an experiment to test this hypothesis and prediction.
