Fictional results: people that have or experienced having a dog are more happy than those who don’t

Statistical significance: People are more happy with a dog compared to not having one

Finances:
-Dogs= 50 dogs for experiment and each dog costs 100$ from the shelter costing  5,000$
-Volunteers for experiment do not pay
-Dogs living cost including food, health care, and tags and toys= 175,000$
Overall total= 180,000$

Outcome:  lives were changed from the outcome of the study because they as individuals were happier with the dog and the product product did not go to market but more people were inspired to adopt dogs from shelters and money was lost but the overall experiment was successful

Blind/Double-Blind: this type of study is not possible with our experiment because the experimental units would have to be aware of owning a dog or not

Sample Size/ Margin of error: sample size=100, M.O.E.= .1 and that’s a good thing because it is so small

Replication: exactly the same process with variation in the selection of test subjects depending on specific traits discovered in this study indicating if there is a characteristic that should be taken into consideration
