Question 52.5 pts
A scientist wishes to test a new antibiotic’s ability to treat stubborn bacterial infections. He tests his hypothesis that the antibiotic works better than existing treatments by giving bacterial infections to mice and treating them with the antibiotic. He then determines how many of the mice recover from their infections. What is missing from his experimental design?
Group of answer choices
He is missing a control group of mice that received a half dose of the new antibiotic.
He is missing a control group of mice that did not receive the new antibiotic.
Nothing is missing—he has done everything he needs to do for this to be a successful experiment.

Question 92.5 pts
A scientist wants to determine whether a new chemical she isolated can cure a certain disease.
