Dependent Variable: Amount of Inflammotin The amount of Inflammotin protein within the blood stream of test subjects is the dependent variable because it is the quantity that is being measured after varying levels of lipopolysaccharide in order to draw conclusions from. Experimental Design Groups There will be up to 6 groups, randomly selected from an elderly population, who will be given varying dosages of 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 milligrams of lipopolysachride. Age The ages of the subjects will between over 65 years old. Number of subjects per group Subject Selection Sources of Error and Bias The people selected for the study might not be representative of the population as a whole. We could control this by picking from a larger pool of test subjects, which would make it more likely it represents the population we want to test for as a whole.
