The research question that can be handled using the scientific method.

  • Evaluating the effectiveness of the drug in overweight women when compared to Those of non-overweight women.
  • Evaluating the interest as well as the intention to buy from different kinds of market segments.

The research hypothesis that addresses the pharmaceutical company's problem in Panel 2 will be:

  • Do the effectiveness of the drug in overweight women
  • Do the interest and the intention to buy from different market segments affecting the  drug.

<h3>What will the experiment be?</h3>

To be able to carry out the experiment, we can carry out an experiment via the use of a 2 x 2 factorial design.

Note that by the use of this design, the study will need to possess four independent groups which are:

  • The overweight placebo group.
  • The overweight treatment group.
  • The normal weight placebo group.
  • The normal weight treatment group.

There will be the use of Intra- and also an inter-group comparative statistical analysis and this be carried out to know if or not the treatment is said to be  effective and why or not its effectiveness is affected by the status of the participants' weight.

To handle the second objective, we can carry out a comparative study and then we collect data regarding the extent to which people from different kinds of market segments has the intentions to purchase the product.

A Two-way ANOVA and also the use of  post-hoc analysis will be used to know the portion that has the greatest level of intention to buy.

1. What type of information does a pedigree contain?
nevsk [136]
Q1. Pedigree is the recorded lineage of a family. A pedigree chart is actually a diagram showing an appearance and occurrence of phenotypes in several generations. It is used to find a probability of a child inheriting a particular trait or to discover is the trait autosomal or sex-related.

Q2. The presence of a trait in a pedigree chart is shown as filled-in figure. If a square or a circle in the pedigree chart are white (empty), then a person does not have a particular trait. If a figure is filled in (usually black), then a person has a trait. If a figure is half-filled in (e.g. it is half black half white), then a person is only a carrier of a trait but the trait is not expressed.

Q3. In the pedigree charts, squares present males and circles present females. If a female is healthy, the circle is empty (white). If a female is affected with a trait, the circle is filled in (usually black). Similarly, if a male is healthy, the square is empty. If a male is affected with a trait, the square is filled in.

Q4. The presence of dimples is a dominant trait. <span>In dominant traits, traits do not skip generations, unlike recessive traits. From the pedigree, the disorder did not skip any generations. This suggests that the disorder is dominant. If it was recessive, in some generation the trait would not be expressed.

Q5. If a pedigree chart of a family is known, then the occurrence and appearance of a trait can be predicted. For example, if it is known whether a disease is dominant, recessive, or sex-linked, then a possibility of getting a child with a disease can be easily calculated.</span>
