(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The dependent and independent variable of the given experiment.

Introduction: The independent variable is that which changes with time. The dependent variable is that which always depends on the independent variable. Both variables work accordingly in a controlled manner.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The control used in the experiment.

Introduction: In this experiment, baby guppies are given vitamin D deficient food, and their growth is measured on every third day continuously for three weeks.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The graph with a legend according to the data provided in the table.

Introduction: The dependent and independent variables are used in the experiment in the form of average body length of the fish and the period used to measure the average length.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The time during which growth is the slowest and the fastest.

Introduction: The average body length of the guppies increases with the passage of the time. It can be deducted with the help of a graph.

150 patients with Crohn’s disease are given an experimental treatment in which they all drink “cocktails” containing thousands of pinworm eggs.  Within one week, 72% of the patients report a reduction in their abdominal pain.   Fill in the following table. Is there a control treatment (and, if so, what is it)?   Is there any accounting for individual variation?   Is there repetition in the experiment?   What, if any, confounding variables are not addressed in the experiment?   Can we say with some confidence that ingesting pinworm eggs is an effective treatment for the symptoms of Crohn’s disease?
