If we have learned to solve problems by one method, we often have difficulty bringing new insight to similar problems. However, electrical stimulation of the brain appears to help subjects come up with fresh insight.
In a recent experiment1 conducted at the University of Sydney in Australia, 40 participants were trained to solve problems in a certain way and then asked to solve an unfamiliar problem that required fresh insight. Half of the participants were randomly assigned to receive noninvasive electrical stimulation of the brain while the other half (control group) received sham stimulation as a placebo. The participants did not know in which group they were. In the control group, 20% of the participants successfully solved the problem while 60% of the participants who received brain stimulation solved the problem.
(a) Is this an experiment or an observational study?
(b) From the description, does it appear that the study is double-blind, single-blind, or not blind?

Consider this equation. |y + 6| = 2 what can be concluded of the equation? check all that apply. there will be one solution. there will be two solutions. the solution to –(y + 6) = 2 will be also be a solution to the given absolute value equation. the solution(s) will be the number(s) on the number line 2 units away from –6. the value of y must be positive since the variable is inside absolute value signs.
