Analyze the following study according to the criteria set by your instructor: A research was conducted to study the link between insulin production and hunger. 500 people from the age of 18 and 30 were chosen for this experiment. 250 people who had been diagnosed with low production of insulin were assigned to group A, while people with normal insulin production had been assigned to group B. Both groups had been adjusted for race, age, and socioeconomic differences. It was ensured that the participants had eaten before the experiment began. The members of both groups were shown images of various food items while an fMRI measured their brain activities. The part of brain responsible for signaling hunger, the hypothalamus, was activated in 80 percent people in group A, while it was
activated in 27 percent people in group B. The researchers concluded that people's insulin production governs their eating habits.[This is a fictitious experiment.]
