Question

Bart belives that mice exposed to microwaves will become extra strong (maybe he's been reading to much Radioactive Man). He decides to perform this experiment by placing 10 mice in a microwavw for 10 seconds. He compared these 10 mice to another 10 mice that had not been exposed. His test consisted of a eavy block of wood that blocked the mouse food. He found that 8 out of 10 of the microwaved mice were able to push the block away. 7 out of 10 of the non-microwaved mice were able to do the same.

4. What should bart's conclusion be?

5. How could Bart's experiment be improved?

Answer 1

1. non microwaved mice

2. microwave exposure

3. strength of mice

4. the experiment is inconclusive.  Too small a sample and very similar results .

5. Larger sample
