The Principle of Superposition
A team of researchers wanted to do an experiment to see which brand of dog food made dogs the healthiest after eating it for 2 months. Should this be set up as a single blind experiment, a double blind experiment, or neither? Why?
Double blind. The researchers and pet owners should not know which kind of dog food each dog gets because the results could be subjective. What makes a dog healthy?
Neither if the researchers are only observing the dogs' weight (which is objective) as healthy or unhealthy.
