The following day, this procedure was repeated except those who were in
quiet rooms in the previous run were assigned to noisy rooms, and vice
versa and the exam used is different but is otherwise equivalent.
Which experiment(s) will likely have the most precise, but potentially
inaccurate results?
Correct!

Very good! Interspersed rooms are the samples here. Students are
subsamples
