what did yall write about for the placebo drug question
I did what everyone else said like small sample space stuff like that for reliability and validity but I also stated study is invalid because the thing being measured is subjective thus is not accurate way of measuring how bad something is and i backed it with placebo test having similar score to actual drug

ye did that too for the averages being similar, the question was pretty similar to the mean and standard deviation question from last year

Subjectivity of the test, potential differences between the groups such as comorbidities creating similar side effects such as fatigue from iron deficiency being incorrectly attributed to the statin by the patients, the period of time over which the study was conducted etc.

I also hypothesised that a psychological factor may have contributed to the relatively high rating of the placebo and expressed concerns about 20% of patients foregoing a potentially lifesaving treatment, and how the scoring appeared to be relatively low (16.3/100, disregarding a potential psychological factor) not justifying stopping the treatment.

IDK I just brain-dumped everything I could think of.

I put bottlenecking through habitat reduction and genetic drift as the population is small and isolated.

Gene flow is the transfer of alleles from one population to another increasing genetic biodiversity and the population was stated to be ISOLATED in the exam. I don't know enough about coat patterns to tell if the new pattern shows traits of two alternative coat pattern/coat pattern alleles.
