Cancer is a large group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. If the spread is not controlled or checked, it results in death. However, many cancers can be cured if detected and treated early. Suppose a scientist who has been studying cancer cells finds a chemical that might reduce the number of cancer cells in mice. The scientist calls the chemical reduction. The scientist planned a series of tests to see if the chemical actually reduces the number of cancer cells. There were 10 mice in the small laboratory. All 10 mice have cancer. The 10 mice were divided into 2 groups, 5 in each group. Group A received injections of reduction while Group B received injections of a sugar solution. The injections were given every 8 hours for 10 days. Before beginning the injections, the number of cancer cells in a sample form each mouse was determined and recorded. After beginning the injections, the number of cancer cells in a sample from each mouse was determined and recorded every 2 days. The data from several specimens appears on the following list: |
