A group of researchers from a local lab are trying to get funding for a research study to determine if the color blue is better than the color green. They have written a proposal and submitted to the company that could potentially give them the money needed to conduct the study. The researchers proposed to carry out their study in four different geographic locations and use variations of both the color blue and the color green to ensure that they will gather reliable information.

Should the company give the researchers the money to conduct this study? Support your decision with at least three reasons.

No, the company should gladly turn down the researchers requests for money to fund this study.

Explanation:

1. The colours choice is a matter of opinion. You can't say blue is better than green and vice versa. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

2. Since a large poll or voters would be needed for the survey, it will require different geographic locations opinions with no chances for it to be conducted in a controlled way.

3. Since money is involved, false information might be given so as to be paid
