The answer is: Experiment.

Explanation:

  • An experiment involves the manipulation of one or more variables to determine their effect on an outcome. In this case, the variable being manipulated is whether the students listen to music or not while taking a test.
  • The researchers are actively assigning students to either listen to music or not, which is a hallmark of experimental design.
  • Observational studies, on the other hand, involve observing subjects in their natural environment without any manipulation or intervention by the researcher. If the researchers were simply observing students who naturally chose to listen to music or not while taking a test, it would be an observational study. However, since the researchers are assigning the conditions, it qualifies as an experiment.

Figure 9: Instrumentation amplifier. Consider the circuit in Figure 9, which represents an instrumentation amplifier (A1, A2, A3) with additional functionality (A4, A5). All operational amplifiers are assumed to be ideal. (a) [5 points] Derive the transfer function H1(s) = (V2-V1)/(Vint-Vin). Hint: Set up independent equations that involve Ig, the current through Rg and eliminate Ig. Use your knowledge about ideal operational amplifiers. (b) [5 points] Derive an expression for (V01)/(Vout) of the sub-circuit with A 5 and for (V02)/(Vout) of the sub-circuit with A4. Calculate the transfer function H2(s) = (V02-V01)/(Vout). (c) [4 points] Set up the circuit equations for operational amplifier A3: Find a relationship between VN and VP, then set up circuit equations for V1, Vol, V2, and Vo 2 to derive the transfer function H3(s) = (V02-V0)/(V2-V1).
