5 (01.01 LC) Which of the following would be a warning sign that information about a weight loss medication is not reliable science?

The scientists and all test subjects involved in the investigation work for the company that sells the medication.

Explanation:

The options are as below:

A. The investigation compared a group that took the medication to a control group that did not take the medication.

B. The scientists and all test subjects involved in the investigation work for the company that sells the medication.

C. The weight loss medication worked for 95 out of the 100 test subjects, while only 15 of the 100 control subjects lost weight.

D. The weight loss results were replicated by scientists conducting a study at an independent institution

The correct option would be that the scientists and all test subjects involved in the investigation work for the company that sells the medication.

When selecting the test subjects for research, the selection must be as random as possible so as to ensure an unbiased outcome and increase the reliability of the research.

Limiting the test subjects to those that work in the company that sells the medication will generally reduce the reliability of the outcome because of element of bias that can be introduced either knowingly or unknowingly.

The test subjects must have been selected from the general population of target users for the medication and not limited to just the employees of the manufacturing company.

Correct option: B
