C. Problematic Problem

Direction: Read and understand each research scenario and create a good research question.
Write your answer on the space provided. (2 point per item)
Scenario 1:

Smithers thinks that a special juice will increase the productivity of workers. He creates two
groups of 50 workers each and assigns each group the same task (in this case, they're supposed
to staple a set of papers). Group A is given the special juice to drink while they work. Group B is
not given the special juice. After an hour, Smithers counts how many stacks of papers each group
has made. Group A made 1,587 stacks, Group B made 2,113 stacks.

Scenario 2:

Homer notices that his shower is covered in a strange green slime. His friend Barney tells him
that coconut juice will get rid of the green slime. Homer decides to check this out by spraying half
of the shower with coconut juice. He sprays the other half of the shower with water. After 3 days of
"treatment" there is no change in the appearance of the green slime on either side of the shower.

Scenario 3:

Bart believes that mice exposed to microwaves will become extra strong (maybe he's been
reading too much Radioactive Man). He decides to perform this experiment by placing 10 mice in
a microwave for 10 seconds. He compared these 10 mice to another 10 mice that had not been
exposed. His test consisted of a heavy block of wood that blocked the mouse food. He found that
8 out of 10 of the microwaved mice were able to push the block away. 7 out of 10 of the non-
microwaved mice were able to do the same.

Scenario 4:

Krusty was told that a certain itching powder was the newest best thing on the market; it
even claims to cause 50% longer lasting itches. Interested in this product, he buys the itching

itching powder, and another test subject (B) was sprinkled with the Experimental itching powder.
Subject A reported having itches for 30 minutes. Subject B reported to have itches for 45 minutes.
