Question
Researchers aim to find a topical solution for skin cancer in its early stages to avoid surgery.
They believe Curcumin is effective, however, it must be solubilised in a solution as a carrier
to be applied on skin. Solvability is one important factor because a solution with higher
solvability contains a higher amount of curcumin. For this reason, an experiment was
designed by researchers to examine and compare the solvability of 5 popular solutions. Prior
to starting the experiment, a company asked the researchers to use and examine their new
additive solution "X" by adding the additive to the solutions. The company claims that the
additive significantly increases the solvability of the solutions. The researchers test the
solvability of their 5 solutions first and then redo all the steps again by adding "X" to their
solutions. There are 5 replicates for each solution in each test. The results are displayed in the
table below:
