Alpha Corporation developed a new pill to treat elevated glucose levels. They want to test the efficiency of the pill to lower glucose levels by gathering a sample of people with high glucose and giving them either:
-
A daily dose of their new pill ("Experimental Group")
-
A daily placebo pill that looks the same but does not do anything ("Placebo Group")
How can they make this a "Blind Study"?

A blind experiment is one in which the participant does not know which experimental group they are in-- which is accomplished by not letting them know if they are in the Experimental or Placebo group.

A study is attempting to test various brands of cola against each other. Which of these would not be a measure that could be used to help create a double blind test?

Remember that a double blind experiment means that neither the subject nor the person conducting the experiment knows the identity of the various treatments until the test is over, so as to minimize bias.
Therefore of the options,
serving the samples to the taster in their usual containers, is the one which would not help create a double blind test.

A double blind experiment requires that both researchers and test subjects are unaware of who is receiving the treatment and who is receiving the placebo. If only one group is unaware, it is a single blind experiment. If both groups are aware, the experiment is not blinded.

In a single-blind experiment, one group (either the researchers or the test subjects) must be blinded while the other group is aware of who is receiving a placebo and who is receiving a therapy.
The following two examples are correct:
-An experiment in which the test subjects are aware of who is receiving a placebo and who is receiving a therapy, but the researchers are unaware.
-An experiment in which the researchers are aware of who is receiving a placebo and who is receiving a therapy, but the test subjects are unaware.

In order for a study to be "blind," the participants can't know which group they are sorted into. For a study to be double-blind, which is even better, the researchers should also be blind to which group participants are in until the study is completed.
