Question

1. Derrick just got home from playing soccer on a muddy field. He is curious how different brands of laundry detergent compare in removing mud from clothes, so he sets up an experiment. In one laundry load, he puts his muddy socks with Brand A detergent. In the next load, he puts his muddy jersey with Brand B detergent. In the final load, he puts his muddy shorts with Brand C detergent. Afterward, he noticed that the jersey came out the cleanest. He concludes that Brand B is the best detergent for removing mud from clothes. Is his conclusion valid?

Answer 1

No, because the clothing was not the same. If he was to get the best results he should have used the same clothing that way he can conclude better which detergent cleans best. Hope this helps.
