OUR TEAM Name: Sydney Connor Name: Tajinder Virdee Name: Michael Dagher Name: Olivia Gonzalez Name: Alaina Jenish Name: Angela Hemesath LAB 1 WRITE-UP Independent and Dependent Variables The independent variable in this experiment will be the amount in milligrams of lipopolysaccharide given to each of the five groups. Lipopolysaccharide is the independent variable because it is the drug that is being varied to measure the amount of inflammation in this experiment The dependent variable in this experiment will be the levels of the protein Inflammotin in the blood stream of the test subjects. The level of inflammation is being measured and therefore depends on the amount of the Lipopolysaccharide being taken. Experimental Design Groups Age Number of subjects per group Subject Selection Sources of Error and Bias Sources of Error in the experiment may include other health problems that each individual may have, such as allergies or certain medical conditions that may impact the blood results. Another source of error in this experiment may include other medicines or treatments that each of the subjects is currently taking that could potentially impact the protein levels in the test subjects' blood system. Since the sample population only includes people of the age 65 to 85 who are registered with the Social Security Administration in the United States, another source of error may be created by not including people who are not registered with the Social Security Administration. Therefore this experiment does not measure subjects from outside the United States, which may create different results had this experiment been conducted on the global scale.
