First, take a few minutes to think of at least four reasons why people willingly drank the Kool-Aid. You can use any resource you want (talk to other class members, use the internet, simply brainstorm, etc.). Second, think about one of those reasons and design a basic study that could test that notion. Think about an experimental group and a control group. What would the former get that the latter would not, and what would you look at in terms of responses from both groups?

_To increase weight.

As discussed earlier, we could actually consider increment in weight for underweight people

A basic study to justify the notion can be taken by selecting a sample of 10 underweight people in Texas.

Divide the sample into two groups (A and B) i. e five in a group

-Measure their mass on a measuring scale, and record the values in a booklet. repeat same for Group B

Group A will be given Kool-Aid for 2 months, while group B wont be supplied with kool-Aid at all.

After 2 months, under strict monitoring and evaluation. It was discovered that the weight of members in Group A increased more than the weight of members in Group B
