Expert Solution

Step 1: Explanation for 1,2 and 3 questions

Let's plan an experiment to find out how music affects students' ability to focus while studying.

1. What is the research question?Does listening to classical music while studying help you retain knowledge better than just studying silently?

2. How is the sample selected?

From a college campus, participants will be chosen at random. We plan to recruit students from a variety of faculties, ages, genders, and backgrounds. A total sample size of 100 volunteers will be sought through the use of posters, social media posts, and email alerts.

3. What are the conditions?

There are two conditions:

a) Listening to classical music while studying.

b) Study in silence.
