This quest. relates to the study of data analysis.\n\nwhere experiments been done on patients in hospital that has been given no. of treatments.\n\nand the question meanning --- when some asks was it "replicated" ANSWER is yes! but do u say the experiment been replicated or the treatment been replicated.

experiment is replicated. data anaylsis has more got to do with experiments than treatments.

I sure hope you read this and not just let it go by. Let me ask you this, lets say you are married and have a family you leave for a while, an leave them alone an someone kills them, so the laws ask you do you what to fry them or let them do a experiment that we are doing on cancer treatment that we think is the cure. After doing the experiment and it is over with, they have a cure and the person is released just how would you feel. Do you think justice was served. I don't so, because the person made headlines twice, once for killing your family and another for helping to find the cure for cancer.

Most research is run by national or international grant, either from the government or from charities-and more recently, from drug companies.  Government grants are paid out, usually, quarterly-that is, every three months.  Charities usually give money yearly, or occasionally give the entire amount at once.  Drug companies can grant the money all at once, or if it is in collaboration, will give money based upon productivity.  Regardless, usually the financial department of the medical centre or university will act as if all the money has been disbursed, and allow the researcher to spend regardless of quarterly or yearly payments made by the granting agency.\nHope that helps

Did you pay attention to the experiment?  Your hypothesis is what you think might happen.  In fact, you've already stated the hypothesis: \n"If the enzyme is boiled,it will become denatured and no longer function."\n\nThe discussion details what you think about the experiment and compares it to other knowledge.  It also tells why you got the results you did...it's basically an overview of the experiment and further research on why things did what they did.  \n\nI hope you have the results handy to refer to.

Obviously, it is the material response that patients first seek from us, hoping a pill or procedure can restore them to good health. But it is also clear that natural science cannot be the only form of help we bring the sick—even when our interventions cure them, and especially when the body’s incurable ailments afflict the soul. It would be the very opposite of wisdom to believe that doctors alone can heal the souls of their patients. Yet to conceive of the patient as materiality alone is a kind of degradation, even if that is what the patient wants.

I believe this methodological approach compares data from observation of natural phenomena, rather than controlled experiments, to make a credible claim. It may not be feasible, legal, or ethical to do certain experiments, so you basically have to look at what's happening in nature to infer conclusions. Maybe try looking up 'natural experiment' or 'comparative method?'

There is a difference between a sample and population mean. Because you used only 16 books, the data could be significantly skewed. Therefore, there is not sufficient evidence to claim that the population shows similar charcteristics.

they are all part of a survey technique to improve the chances of getting a complete result from a sample.\nRandomized is when you randomly select the people or subjects that will take part in your survey. The subjects chosen are from a big population that you want to know about, and the subjects that you randomly picked are called a sample.\nFor double-blind, imagine a company wants to test their new wine, so they invited some professional wine drinker to test out many different unlabeled wines along with their new wine, and have the wine drinker describe the taste of each wine. A person will accompany the drinkers and present the different wines to them, but that person will not know which wine is which, so this prevents that person from giving hints to the drinkers and influence their responses. This is a double-blind technique in which the person who accompanies the subjects and helps the subjects will now know what is being tested.\nPlacebo-controlled clinical trial is when you tests if a new pill or medical treatment is working or not. For example, a company develops a new pill to lower the acid level of the stomach. To test it out, they will assign some doctors to give to their patients who suffer from this a pill. Half of the doctors will receive the new pill that the company developed, while the other half will receive a fake pill, or also called a placebo, that tastes the same as the new pill except it doesn't do anything to cure the illness. Taking the placebo pill would make the patients believe that they are taking something that will cure them, thus making them feel better. If the results were that the number of people who were cured by the placebo the same as the ones who were cured by the new pill, then that means that the new pill would not be any better than a placebo.

Well, you need to collect some data to do any kind of hypothesis testing.  Were you given some data as a part of the question?

With the stuff they're experimenting with nowadays, I wouldn't be surprised.  For example, they are studying some reptiles that can regrow their body parts in an attempt to find a way for humans to regrow their organs.  I'm not a scientist, but this may be able to reanimate the body given the right conditions.

there have been a couple people in early stages of the disease, but its not certain if they tested false positive and were never infected or if they were actually cured. but for the most part, no.

I think you are really asking about the meaning of a prospective trial.  Both Retrospective (looking backward) and Prospective (looking forward) trials can be randomized and controlled. \n\nProspective trials generally offer more solid evidence than retrospective trials.  Randomization and controls help to validate the legitimacy of the findings.\n\nHope this helps.  Best wishes.

the correct answer should be # 2 because the main point of the experiment is that "the same steps don't always produce the same results"

Statistics can be realied upon to a certain degree, but it really depends on where the stats are coming from, are they coming from a realiable source, or from a friend of a friend of a friend?\nMost statistics are made up from a small survey of people, for example viewers who watched a particular show. The actual number of people that watched the show may be 20,000, but these are only the people who have the equiptment attached to their tv set to show what they watched and when so to get a realistic figure they may count each person as 1,000 to get a more realistic figure. In actual fact everyone else may have been watching something else.

Most times statistics are used in psychology to measure whether the results of an experiment shows genuinely "significant" differences within the results, or whether all of the results fit within a single range.\n\nFor example, there have been studies which "appear" to show that boys' and girls' academic performance goes in non-synchronous waves.\n\nIf you measured the performance of all the pupils in a school in a certain year in a certain subject you could tell (using chi square, for example) whether the performance of the boys (as a group) was statistically different from the performance of the girls (as a group), or whether the performance of all the students in that year, in that subject, fell within the same "range".\n\nIf there is a significant difference you can use "standard deviations" as a measure of just how big the difference is.\n\n(I don't have any URLs on hand, but you can look up "statistical significance" and "standard deviations" online.)

What do you mean? Are you talking about statistics  or about new treatment options for cancer?\n\nWith over 200 different types of cancer, stages and grades of tumor . . .  the question is a little vague.

Many of the orignal studies were based on mutations in bacteria which halt growth or have other phenotypes, where it was found that mutations could be labeled into several groups, and that if bacteria from different groups mated, then the phenotype is restored.  From this it was deduced that the mutations were in coding regions for proteins that exist in a network ie A to B to C, and usually proteins like A and B were in a complex.  Today its a large part of cell and molecular biology to figure out if proteins are in complexes, and what the complex does.  Its not necessarily important that A and B are in a complex, but what that complex does; since that is the proteni function in cells.  So if A and C are in a complex, the complex has a certain function.  if B and C are in a complex, then there is a different function.  Drug companies have been exploiting this type of knowledge for a long time, but what is more impt is the understanding of how proteins interact with other proteins, and how they regulate cellular functions.  Once this is understood, then drugs can be rationaly designed.  Even then, however, it's not possible to guarantee patient efficacy.  \n\nWe just had a great lecture by Gordon Mills, an expert in the PTEN protein pathway, and he talked about the dozens of drugs made against various members of this pathway, and noted that so far none of these drugs are effective in patients, although they work in the test tube and in mice.  So, drug discovery is a very difficult issue and takes billions of dollars for one drug to be delivered to market (and 10 years or more).
