Two groups of subjects were divided in an experimental study. One group was given a drug to help speed up their metabolism and result in weight loss. The other group was given a placebo (a pill that looks identical to the one given to the other group, but without the weight loss drug). After a month of the experiment, the weight loss of each individual in each of the two groups were measured. In general, people in the group who took the metabolism drug did lose more weight, although there were differences in the amount each lost. There are two main types of variability occurring in this study. Describe each type below in the context of this study.

Induced Variability-

Natural Variability-

Induced Variability - It is the kind of variability that is introduced by the one conducting the experiment. The decision to give one group the drug and othe other group a placebo was deliberate to check the merit of the drug on its own and was introduced by the one conducting the study. Hence the, the observation that the group that took the drug lost more weight as compared to the group that took the placebo is an induced variability.

Natural Variability - It is classified as a natural fluctuation in the observations that is not influenced by the one conducting the study. Even though the group that took the drug lost more weight, the exact amount that each of them lost was not constant. Hence this was a variability that did not introduce itself through the one conducting the study, and rather was unexplained and natural. Hence it is a natural variability.

step-by-step explanation:

the least value out of the data shown is 5, maybe if you post a picture with it i could a little more.
