Making Inferences A prominent sociologist who studies marital relationships says that he can predict with 95 percent accuracy whether a newly married couple will fail or succeed in their marriage. He has newlyweds attend a retreat and perform a series of tasks, videotaping each couple’s interactions as they work on projects together. At the end of the weekend, he tells the couples what he observed and what it could mean for the future of their marriages. Remember, his accuracy rating is 95 percent.

a. What do you think he looks for while he watches couples’ interactions?

b. Do you believe his approach is ethical?

c. If you had the opportunity as a newlywed, would you attend this retreat? Why or why not?
