1. Does the herb Echinacea help the common cold? A study investigated the impact of
echinacea vs. a standard cold medication on cold symptoms. Each subject in the study
chose to take either the echinacea or a standard cold medication in capsule form After
taking the capsule for one week, the subjects then reported to the researchers the status of
their cold symptoms. The researchers subsequently reported that there was no
statistically significant difference in the duration of the cold between these groups. The
variable duration of cold in this study would be the

J. McWhorter et al. of the College of Health Sciences at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, studied physical therapy students during their graduate-school years.

In the study, published as “An Evaluation of Physical Fitness Parameters for Graduate Students” (Journal of American College Health, Vol. 51, No. 1, pp. 32–37), a sample of 27 female graduate physical-therapy students had a mean of 22.46 percent body fat. a.

- Welsh, Davis, Burke, and Williams (2002) conducted a study to evaluate the effectiveness of a carbohydrate-electrolyte drink on sports performance and endurance. Experienced athletes were given either a carbohydrate-electrolyte drink or a placebo while they were tested on a series of high-intensity exercises. One measure was how much time it took for the athletes to run to fatigue. Data similar to the results obtained in the study are shown in the following table.

- According to a report by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), containers and packaging generated about 34.6% of all municipal solid waste (MSW) in the country in a recent year. This was the largest category of such waste. The next highest group was nondurable goods, which accounted for 25.4 % of waste. This was followed by durable goods at 10.9%, yard trimmings/other at 13.4%, and food scraps at 15.7%.

Although observational studies have associated night-shift work with an increased risk of breast cancer, the effect of night-shift work on the risk of other cancers is not known. We examined the relationship between working rotating night shifts and the risk of colorectal cancers among female participants in the Nurses’ Health Study. We documented 602 incident cases of colorectal cancer among 78 586 women who were followed up from 1988 through 1998. Compared with women who never worked rotating night shifts, women who worked 15 years or more on rotating night shifts were 1.35 times more likely to develop colorectal cancer (95% CI = 1.03 to 1.77), adjusting for confounders.

He hypothesized that "car accidents do not increase or decrease as a result of the age of the drivers, gender of the driver and type of car". The sample of this research consisted of 2000 car drivers of different gender, ages and types of cars. The researcher designed a questionnaire to collect the primary data required. The questionnaire was very short. It elicited some demographic data from the respondents such as their gender, their age, and the type of car they used. The questionnaire also elicited from the participants if they had had accidents, the number of accidents they had and at what age they had…arrow_forward
