Question

The next trial will have 1,000 subjects. What is a reasonable prediction for the next trial? In the next trial, the herb should be effective in improving sleep for about how many people?

1) 100
2) 500
3) 1,000
4) 2,000

Answer 1

Without information on the effectiveness of the herb in previous trials, it is not possible to make a reasonable prediction for the next trial.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make a reasonable prediction for the next trial, we can consider the mean improvement in sleep observed in previous trials. Unfortunately, the information provided does not include data on the effectiveness of the herb in improving sleep in previous trials. Without this information, we cannot make a reasonable prediction for the next trial. Therefore, none of the options provided (1) 100, (2) 500, (3) 1,000, or (4) 2,000) can be considered a reasonable prediction.
