An experiment that claimed to show that meditation reduces anxiety proceeded as follows. the experimenter interviewed the subjects and rated their level of anxiety. then the subjects were randomly assigned to two groups. the experimenter taught one group how to meditate and they meditated daily for a month. the other group was simply told to relax more. at the end of the month, the experimenter interviewed all the subjects again and rated their anxiety level. the meditation group now had less anxiety. what property of good experiments is missing from the study?

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?
