Identify the IV and the scale of measurement; Identify the DV and the scale of measurement and for the IV – identify the # of levels; Identify null and alternative hypotheses, are they directional or non-directional? A new diet pill is expected to increase the percentage of weight lost. Four groups of women are selected. Women in Group 1 (n = 10) are given 5 mg of the drug, those in Group 2 (n = 10) are given 10 mg of the drug, Group 3 (n = 10) gets 15 mg, and women in Group 4 (n = 10) are given a placebo (control). The women are asked to record the percentage of weight lost after taking the pill daily for 6 months.
