3 Consider the following: A pharmaceutical company has developed a new weight loss drug for women. Preliminary tests show that the drug seems to be fairly effective in about 75 percent of test subjects. The drug company thinks that the drug might be most effective in overweight women, but they are unsure to whom they should market the product. 4 Use the scientific method to address the pharmaceutical company's needs: a in Data Table 1, state a research question. b Conduct online research on "Body Mass Index" categories. Record pertinent information in Data Table 1. C Construct a testable hypothesis and record the hypothesis in Data Table 1. d Design an experiment to test the hypothesis. Be as specific as possible in describing what will be observed or measured. Record your study design in Data Table 1.

Answer 1

1. Ask a question- we need to check effectiveness of the drug on over weight women. So, we can ask-- Is this drug is more effective on over weight women?

2. Research what is already known- losing weight has always been a concern in a society because of physical appearance and health. One need to know his or her weight and how much he or she should weigh in order to say healthy. There are some common methods to determine the obesity such as waist & height ratio , waist& hip ratio, BMI and body fat study . By all these method we can keep on checking obesity level.

3. Create a hypothesis-- By testing the weight loss drug there are 75 percentage chances of reduction in weight.

4. Test the hypothesis- We need to select random group of 200-300 over weight women and ask them to take this drug. Before starting drug test , we need to record weight of every individual. Each women will be measured after every week for a full month. Then data will be collected according to age, weight, height, waist size and body mass ratio. Data will be analysed and then we can make out the conclusion for the same.
