Answer: d. Confounding
Explanation:
In the context of a scientific study such as this one, a confounding factor is one that has influence on both the exposure and event variable(s), which may lead to over- or underestimation of the direct relationship between them (if any).
For instance: In this example, researchers may have had reason to believe that male gender is associated with both higher risk of obesity (the exposure variable) and adult-onset asthma (the event variable). If gender is not taken into account, one may claim that the finding of an association between obesity and asthma is simply an artifact due to the high proportion of male patients (likely to present with both). <em>Controlling</em> for that variable (such as by matching, as in this example) allows researchers to test for this hypothesis.

We see now that there is a 50% chance of the taxi driver picking the poisonous pill each time. This seems like a high chance at first, but if you keep on doing it over and over again the probability is smaller and smaller that he will survive. The first time it is 50%, then 25%, then 12.5%, and it gets smaller and smaller. Therefore, there must be something else going on for this taxi driver to have such good luck.
We see that passenger is the one who picks it because if the taxi driver picked it, it would be rigged. However, there has to be a way that the passenger always dies. Therefore, it makes the most sense that the poison isn't actually in the pills, but in something else.
We see that each passenger had to swallow the pill with water. When they say that one of them is harmless and the other one is poisonous, they did not clarify that they were talking about the pills. They could have easily been talking about the glasses of water. And, the passenger does not pick which glass of water to drink, so it could easily be rigged so that they are drinking poisoned water.
Sherlock could have easily asked to swallow the pill with his own water, another drink, or to swallow it without any liquid.
I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!
The nursing diagnosis which relates to this client's condition of concern after being scheduled for coronary angioplasty include the following below:
- Ineffective coping related to anxiety and fear of surgery.

<h3>What is Coronary angioplasty?</h3>
This is referred to a medical procedure which involves widening of the narrowed or blocked coronary arteries in the body so as to ensure efficient pumping of the blood by the heart to other parts of the body.
The nursing diagnosis which relates to this client's condition is related to fear in which he is scared that he may die when the surgery is done which shows he is unable to cope with anxiety which comes with it.
Lack of knowledge about the treatment plans is also the reason why the individual may be scared about the surgery as the effect on the body isn't known yet and the nurse can provide detailed information about it to prevent this situation.
