company that manufactures a popular multivitamin wanted to determine whether their multivitamin had any side effects. For its in
itial study, the company chose 2000 individuals to take one of their multivitamin tablets per day for one year. Scientists from the company surveyed the participants to determine whether they had experienced any side effects. The greatest problem with this procedure is that A) only one brand of vitamin was tested B) the study lasted only one year C) the sample size was not large enough D) no control group was used
In this experiment, It would have been scientific to compare the result of the experiment on the experimental group(taking the multivitamin) with the control group (Taking no medicine)
Without a control group, a defined impact of multivitamin over the experimental group cannot be deduced.
At each height above the base, the cross section of each cone shown is the same (a circle with the same diameter), so Yes, Cavalieri's Principle applies.
