and what did u put for Vitamin D question where it said what factors have to be considered when putting the participants in groups and why was the conclusion incorrect?
Reply 5
didn't know what to put for the 'factors to consider' question. but for the conclusion one, I put its incorrect because correlation causation. (just bc diabetes patients tend to be vitamin D deficient, doesn't mean the deficiency caused the diabetes). not sure tho

thank god for that, how about in paper one where it said predict the concentration of something did u say 115? I think the letter was C
what did u say for immobilised yeast question, that one was odd.
Do u also remember what u put for in paper one how many temp changes occur with 256 many copies of DNA?

Which part?
the one where it said why are they placed in beads instead of a solution?
also remember when it said the control group had 59% low vitamin D and all together in the study there was 400 people did u guys divide it by two to get 200 then 59% of that to find the number of people in the control group that had low vitimen D? cause it said in each group there is an equal number of people.
