I am interested in whether students from University A or from University B are bigger sports fans. I make up a questionnaire asking questions such as "What percentage of football games do you watch?" and give it to a group of 100 women from University A and 100 men from University B. Suppose I find that the first group scores statistically lower on the test than the second group. If I conclude
that University B students are bigger sports fans than University A students, I might be wrong because
A) more of the University B students may have been juniors and seniors.
B) the dependent variable was not well defined.
C) there was no difference in the levels of the independent variable.
D) there is a confounding variable.
