Mr. Polley created a new pill “Gasulox” that he believes can completely cure the world of flatulence(farts). He gathered together 100 students with a history of cutting the cheese to conduct his experiment. He had 50 students (Group A) take Gasulox before every meal. The other 50 students (Group B) also received a pill before meals, but it was a sugar pill that did not have the active ingredient in Gasulox. Each group was told that they were getting Gasulox which might cure their flatulence. Three hours after taking the pills, 35 students in Group A and 15 students in Group B reported having less flatulence than normal.
A = The type of pills given to the students (Gasulox and Sugar).
B = The amount of flatulence observed.
C = Group B
D = If students are given Gasulox, then they will show a reduction in the amount of gas they have.
Mr. Rolph noticed that his collection of polo shirts weren’t as clean as they used to be. His friend Allison told him that he should try using Lion’s Roar detergent, a new laundry soap she found at the Boedeker Mini-Mart . Mr. Rolph washed ten pair of shirts in plain water and another 10 pairs in water with the Lion’s Roar detergent. All of the shirts were washed in the same washing machine for the same amount of time. After washing all pairs of shirts two times, the pants washed in the Lion’s Roar detergent cleaned the shirts much better than the shirts washed in plain water.
E = The Lion’s Roar detergent was more effective in cleaning polo shirts.
F = The polo shirts washed in plain water.
G = The washing machine and the time washed.
H = How clean the polo shirts were after washing.
