I got 30 people between the age of 25-40 and 170-200 pounds to volunteer for a free 12 week trial program. ]]> 2019-10-28 03:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sammie91601/1s8ixwlt4ozi/wish/403151855 sammie91601 https://padlet.com/sammie91601/1s8ixwlt4ozi/wish/403152040 Treatments: The group of women was split in half, 30 of the women drank hot lemon water every morning, and the other 30 drank regular water. I would follow up with each group checking their weight records twice a month. ]]> 2019-10-28 03:32:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sammie91601/1s8ixwlt4ozi/wish/403152040 sammie91601 https://padlet.com/sammie91601/1s8ixwlt4ozi/wish/403152122 Explanatory variable: My explanatory variable would be the hot lemon water that is drank every morning. ]]> 2019-10-28 03:33:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sammie91601/1s8ixwlt4ozi/wish/403152122 sammie91601 https://padlet.com/sammie91601/1s8ixwlt4ozi/wish/403152175 Response variable: The response variable would be the amount of weight lost after the 12 weeks.]]> 2019-10-28 03:33:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sammie91601/1s8ixwlt4ozi/wish/403152175 sammie91601 https://padlet.com/sammie91601/1s8ixwlt4ozi/wish/403152286 Control groups/ placebo: I do not have a placebo because it is not suitable for this experiment, but the control group of this experiment is the group who does not have lemon in their water. ]]> 2019-10-28 03:34:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sammie91601/1s8ixwlt4ozi/wish/403152286 sammie91601 https://padlet.com/sammie91601/1s8ixwlt4ozi/wish/403152362 Blinding/Double blinding: There is no blind or double blind in this experiment. This is mainly because in the water with lemon, you can taste the difference from regular water eliminating the blind effect. Also there is no double blind because I knew who was getting which drink. ]]> 2019-10-28 03:34:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sammie91601/1s8ixwlt4ozi/wish/403152362 sammie91601 https://padlet.com/sammie91601/1s8ixwlt4ozi/wish/403152519 PICK ONE: Matched pairs: I made sure that I evenly put a variety of age and weight in each block to get accurate results and that there isn’t something messing up my results due to having too many older/younger people being in one or heavier/lighter people in one.]]> 2019-10-28 03:35:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sammie91601/1s8ixwlt4ozi/wish/403152519 sammie91601 https://padlet.com/sammie91601/1s8ixwlt4ozi/wish/403152651 Sample size/margin of error: The sample size of this experiment was 60 people, so this would make the margin of error 12.9%. This is a little higher than I would like, but in order for me to make it smaller, I would need more people in the experiment. ]]> 2019-10-28 03:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sammie91601/1s8ixwlt4ozi/wish/403152651 sammie91601 https://padlet.com/sammie91601/1s8ixwlt4ozi/wish/403152701 Replication: I plan to use the same subjects again but switch the treatments between the two groups for accurate results. ]]> 2019-10-28 03:36:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sammie91601/1s8ixwlt4ozi/wish/403152701 sammie91601 https://padlet.com/sammie91601/1s8ixwlt4ozi/wish/403152803 Fictional results/statistical significance: After 12 weeks, there was an average of 8-12 pounds lost for the group who drank lemon water daily each morning. As for the people who drank regular water in the morning, there was an average of only 1-3 pounds lost. There is a statistical significance which is about 7-9 pounds. This is too high for it to just be by chance. ]]> 2019-10-28 03:37:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sammie91601/1s8ixwlt4ozi/wish/403152803 sammie91601 https://padlet.com/sammie91601/1s8ixwlt4ozi/wish/403156229 2019-10-28 03:54:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sammie91601/1s8ixwlt4ozi/wish/403156229
