A young researcher is curious about the claim of her female friend that auto repair shops rip off women more than men. She decides to observe the behavior of auto mechanics in a selection of shops in her city. She obtains permission from the owners to observe the goings on for several weeks. She records comments by the mechanics about the car problems, being careful to note whether the car was brought in by a woman or a man, and she notes the cost of each repair. Being a cautious young researcher, she sits in a far corner and never makes comments to anyone in the shops. At the end of her study, she finds no difference between the average cost of repairs and no obvious difference in the kinds of comments the mechanics make about cars brought in by women or men. What do you have to say about her intention to write in her report that auto mechan¬ ics do not discriminate in any way between men and women?
