Quiz
A new medication claims to reduce allergy symptoms by 90%. A study is conducted where 100 participants with allergies take the medication, and 90 report symptom reduction. Should this be enough evidence to recommend the medication for everyone?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
: Comparing the medication group to a group receiving a placebo (inactive substance) would help isolate the medication's true effect and avoid attributing symptom reduction to other factors.
