OUR TEAM Name: Your name Name: Your name Name: Your name Name: Your name Name: Your name Name: Your name LAB 1 WRITE-UP Independent and Dependent Variables Independent Variable: Dosage of lipopolysaccharide (mg) Dependent Variable: Level of inflammation protein (Inflammotin) The independent variable is the substance that we are manipulating in order to see how it effects the results (the dependent variable) Experimental Design Groups We will have a total of 12 groups where half of the groups (groups 1-6) will be of ages 65-69, and the other half (groups 7-12) will be of ages 70-74 Each age group will then be subdivided by increments of 2 mg dosages: 2 mg, 4 mg, 6 mg, 8 mg, 10 mg, and a placebo Age Our age range will span from 65-74, split from ages 65-69 and ages 70-74 in order to get a better observation of how age plays a factor into the reaction. Number of subjects per group 10 subjects per group: 5 male, and 5 female. Subject Selection In order to create the groups, our team will go to a primary care physician near our area to get a list of patients who have had a history of inflammatory problems. We will then use a random number generator to assign each patient to a specified group. While conducting the experiment, we will hold a double blind experiment where neither the drug administer nor the patient knows what dosage the patient is receiving. Sources of Error and Bias
