Scientific experiments
A researcher wants to test his hypothesis that a diet low in fats will lead to a
decrease in LDL cholesterol over several months of time. From the following list
of statements, select those that will lead to the best experimental design.
All ((except)) for:
Measure the cholesterol level of two randomly chosen men at the onset of one study.
Prescribe to all patients a carefully regimented diet that contains a variety of low-fat
options, tailored to the caloric needs of each man.
Discard from the results the men whose cholesterol readings did not fit the hypothesis.
Science and social responsibility
The following are examples of a few of the benefits and costs of using
technology. For each, decide if it describes a cost or a benefit and classify it
accordingly.
