Introduction:
For a scientist, a controlled experiment is necessary component of a well designed study. In the given study: People having acne use this cream.
Acne or pimple found in the skin when oil-producing hair follicles or pores have been clogged. Propionibacterium acne is an acne producing bacterium that gets trapped in the follicle of the skin.

Botox is a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When ingested with tainted food, Botox can kill by paralyzing muscles needed for breathing and heartbeat. Physicians inject small quantities of diluted Botox into facial muscles to paralyze them and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Some people have expressed concern about a trend in which people come together for “Botox parties” at hair salons and other nonmedical settings. What are the risks of getting injections in such a setting?

A study is done to examine whether there is an association between the daily use of vitamins C & E and risk of coronary artery disease (heart attacks) over a 10 year period. When subjects who took both vitamins were compared to those who took not vitamins at all, the risk ratio was found to be 0.70. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of this finding? Answer and explain.
a. The incidence of coronary artery disease in those who take vitamins C & E daily is 0.70 (or 70%)
b. Those who take vitamins C & E daily have 0.7 times the risk of heart attack compared to those who do not take vitamins
c.The risk difference in this study is 70 per 100 vitamin users over ten years
d. The odds ratio in this study is 70 per 100 vitamin users over ten years
e. The risk difference in this study is 0.70 per 100 vitamin users over ten years
