1 - Patty Power Mr. Krabbs wants to make Bikini Bottoms a nicer place to live. He has created a new sauce that he thinks will reduce the production of body gas associated with eating crabby patties from the Krusty Krab. He recruits 100 customers with a history of gas problems. He has 50 of them (Group A) eat crabby patties with the new sauce. The other 50 (Group B) eat crabby patties with sauce that looks just like new sauce but is really just mixture of mayonnaise and food coloring. Both groups were told that they were getting the sauce that would reduce gas production. Two hours after eating the crabby patties, 30 customers in group A reported having fewer gas problems and 8 customers in group B reported having fewer gas problems.

Which people are in the control group?

What is the independent variable?

What is the dependent variable?

Given:

Recruited 100 customers with a history of gas problems.

50 of these customers were given the new sauce (Group A) while the other 50 were given the old sauce that looks like the new sauce (Group B).

Both groups were told they were eating the new sauce.

Which people are in the control group? Group B. They ate the regular sauce but were told that they are eating the new sauce.

What is the independent variable? New Sauce

What is the dependent variable? Amount of body gas produced

What should Mr. Krabs’ conclusion be?

30 customers in group A reported having fewer gas problems

8 customers in group B reported having fewer gas problems

The new sauce does in fact work. It r educed the production of body gas associated with eating crabby patties from the Krusty Krab.
