While Joey was working in the lab, he developed what he thinks to be a cure for cancer. He tested the medicine on one cancer pat
ient, and the patient becomes cancer-free within hours. Joey tried to publish his results, but the scientific journal will not accept his article. Why?
The correct answer is - He only tested one subject, so his conclusion is not valid.
Explanation:
In the given question there is an experiment where Joey developed medicine for curing cancer. He tested the medicine on a cancer patient but his results did not publish in the journal as the experiment is not reliable as he tested on a single subject.
The tests or experiments should have performed on different subjects to test the reliability of the results. Single-subject experiments are not trustworthy as there can be other factors or physical condition can help the subject other than medicines.
It is important the entire scientific community uses the metric system rather than each country having its own system because when scientist are comparing or sharing results they wont have to do extra steps of converting to different measurements it will just be the same and less confusing.
