Suppose you find out that a certain drug reduces side effects of a certain therapy by 50 percent. Assuming the study was conducted properly, explain why this statistic of 50 may not be as meaningful as it sounds.

Question 2

A social worker wants to determine the extent to which people remember a tragedy (like September 11). She conducts a survey of a random sample of students in the General Psychology 101 course at her university. To whom can these results be generalized?

Answer to Question 1

THE ORIGINAL PERCENTAGE EXPERIENCING SIDE EFFECTS MAY BE SMALL (FOR EXAMPLE 2) SO TAKING A DRUG TO REDUCE THESE ALREADY SMALL CHANCES BY 50 (FROM 2 TO 1 IN THIS CASE) MIGHT NOT MAKE PRACTICAL OR ETHICAL SENSE.

Answer to Question 2

ONLY THOSE STUDENTS AT THAT UNIVERSITY WHO TOOK GENERAL PSYCHOLOGY 101, OR STUDENTS SIMILAR TO THEM.
