2. Epinine would like to understand if young girls are critical of other young girls body images. She enters a middle school in the city of Fall River, she sits in the cafeteria and listens to females and she records the number of negative comments that she hears (she defines body shaming as any critical comment toward another female based on weight or height or shape). Then she records the data in order to best inform others.

3. Grad student Becky is working in the lab and she notices that the days that she drinks coffee, the better she can focus on her data entry. She hypothesizes that coffee can help improve concentration. She decides to study this by assigning 52 grad students to either a group that drinks 1 cup of coffee, or a group that drinks two cups of coffee or a group that drinks NO coffee. Then she measures their perseverance on a sewing task.
