Nancy and Paul are designing an experiment to measure the amount of honey produced by each of the bee hives they keep. What should Paul and Nancy do to ensure a fair comparison between all the hives?

Question

blues · Answer

They should control for other factors which might affect the productivity in that hive. Not that I know more than next to nothing about bee keeping, it would make sense that all the hives should have the same access to fields and be in the same environment; that they should all be of the same size and kept at the same temperature; things like that.

I hope that's helpful!
