Scenario 6
Suppose that you wanted to determine if a dietary supplement is effective at lowering blood pressure. You randomly select 200 people with slightly elevated blood pressure and give them either a placebo or the dietary supplement. Your research design is as follows in Table 1. You randomly select 100 people to receive the dietary supplement, and 100 people to receive the placebo. In order to determine the effectiveness of the dietary supplement, you measure systolic blood pressure. The drug was considered a success if it reduced blood pressure levels below 130 mm Hg. Your research hypothesis is: The dietary supplement will reduce blood pressure compared to placebo in people with moderately high blood pressure levels.

Placebo
n=100 20 people 80 people
Dietary Supplement
N=100 30 people 70 people
