Mateo has developed a scale to measure a person’s fear of earthquakes. After the occurrence of an earthquake, he surveys 1,000 individuals and finds the mean score to be 7.8 out of a possible 10 (the higher the score, the greater the fear). Mateo concludes that fear increases after people experience an earthquake. This study is an example of a

Carl bred and owned German shepherd dogs that he trained as lethal attack dogs.  Specifically, he trained them to attack strangers at night because he often sold or leased the dogs to business and factory owners who wanted to use the dogs to protect their properties from intruders at night.  One evening, the breeder was training three of his dogs in his backyard, which was enclosed with a chain-link fence and a latched gate that prevented the dogs from running out.  After the training session, the breeder opened the gate and allowed the dogs to run loose in his front yard.  Minutes later, a man came walking past the front yard and was immediately attacked by one of the dogs.  The dog, in attacking the man, did as it was trained to do; it pounced on him and bit sharply into his neck, which severed the man’s carotid artery.  The man bled to death within a minute. Carl is arrested and tried in an MPC jurisdiction.  Carl should be found guilty of:

Angie was in an abusive relationship with her spouse, Betsy.  Betsy was an alcoholic and, when drunk, would often beat Angie.  During the course of their marriage, the beatings became worse and more frequent.  Unable to endure it any longer, Angie hired an assassin to kill Betsy.  Angie informed the assassin that the best time to kill Betsy would be three evenings from now–on Thursday evening–because Angie would be out of town and Betsy typically got extremely intoxicated on Thursday nights.  That Thursday evening, while Betsy was asleep in a drunken stupor, the assassin entered the home with a spare key that Angie had given him.  The assassin shot Betsy to death.  Later on, detectives discovered evidence that Angie had hired someone to kill Betsy; she was charged with first-degree murder.  In the jurisdiction, premeditated murder and felony murder are classified as first-degree murder; all other murders fall within second-degree murder. Should Angie be convicted of first-degree murder?
