Question
Chapter 33.7, Problem 1MI
Summary Introduction
Immunoglobulins (Igs) are also termed as antibodies. Igs are glycoprotein molecules made by plasma cells (white blood cells). Igs play an important role in the immune response by particularly identifying and binding to antigens, like bacteria and viruses and thereby aids in destructing them. Igs are classified into five types, namely IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM.

A researcher wants to study the effectiveness of a pill intended to reduce stomach heartburn in pregnant women. The researcher chooses randomly 400 women to participate in this experiment for 9 months of their pregnancy period. They all need to have the same diet. The researcher designs two groups of 200 participants: One group take the real medication intended to reduce heartburn, while the other group take placebo medication. In this study what are: Independent variable: Dependent variable: Control variable: Experimental group: " Control group: If the participants do not know who is consuming the real pills and who is consuming the sugar pills. This study is It happens that 40% of the participants do not find the treatment helpful and drop out after 6 months. The researcher throws out the data from subjects that drop out.
