What will be an ideal response?
Use the following information to answer the following question(s): You wake up one morning feeling slightly under the weather. A close family member enthusiastically suggests that you take some Echinacea, an herb commonly used as a cold remedy. You then decide to design an experiment to test Echinacea and see if this claim is true. You think, "If taken at the beginning of a cold, Echinacea will reduce cold symptoms."If you give 100 sick people tablets similar to Echinacea but with no herb (called a placebo), and do not tell them whether they are receiving the placebo or the Echinacea tablet, what kind of control would this be?
A. A positive control, since you are expecting a change to happen in this control group B. A blind control, since the sick people do not know whether they are receiving the placebo or the Echinacea C. A negative control, since you are expecting no change to happen in this control group D.
