3. A psychologist is investigating whether low lighting in classrooms negatively influences learning ability. The psychologist also thinks that high temperatures might negatively influence learning. When participants come to the laboratory, the psychologist flips a coin to determine which participants will be assigned to low-light environment or to a normal-light environment. The psychologist then flips a coin again to determine which participants in each of the previously mentioned groups will be assigned to a room set at 70 degrees or a room set at 85 degrees. After  being given a brief lesson on the history of Scotland, all students are a re given a test of the material discussed during the lesson. a)   ____________________________  ______________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ __________________  b)   ____________________________  ______________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ __________________
