anonymous · Answer

i said he should get random people and split them into a treatment group with the medication and a control group with the placebo and then determine whether or not the medication helped reduce sneezing

anonymous · Answer

Looks as though you need a control group:  a group which does NOT take the new medication and a group that DOES take the new medication.
Describe what kind of sampling would be appropriate.
