What do you think?

Should you trip people so they have swelling?
Should you write letters or make phone calls to get volunteers?
Should you hang out at the E.R. and wait for swelling?
A good place to find swelling is the Over 40 league for Softball. Those guys never go home without wounds.

The REAL difficulty with this problem is that the world is open to you. You get to design whatever you want.

How will you control the study? Maybe give some patients a fake treatment? That is common. Or, will you give the same patient different treatments in different areas?

How will you measure effectiveness?

Seriously, the world is your oyster. Design an experiment!

Answer 21

@tkhunny this isnt just any writing . this is an algebra problem. i cant be creative about it. its based on statistics and i have to find an explanation for it. :(

Answer 22

I was so hoping you would understand what I wrote and not just decide that I was barking up the wrong tree. Look at the three demands from the problem statement...

1) Explain to Andrea the best sampling method,
2) what statistics she should study, and
3) what conclusions she can draw from the experiment.

Read what I wrote, again, and see that this lines up very nicely with what is requested.

A tiny bit of it is arithmetic. Most of it is discussion and design.
