Question

were selected who attend the university, indicated that they use the exercise facilities on a regular basis. 2. Researchers conducted a study to investigate the effects of soft drink consumption on fat stored in muscle volunteers, 40 were randomly assigned to consume one liter of a soft each day. The remaining 40 were asked to drink one liter of water each day and not to consume any soft drinks At the end of six months.the amount of fat stored in each person's muscle tissue was recorded The people in the group who drank the soft drink had,on average, a higher percentage of fat stored in the tissue than the people who drank only water.Which of the following is the most appropriate conclusion? (A) There is evidence that consuming soft drinks causes more fat storage in muscle tissue than drinking only water, and the conclusion can be generalized to all adults. (B) There is evidence that consuming soft drinks causes more fat storage in muscle tissue than drinking only and the conclusion can be generalized to all people who consume soft drinks. (C) There is evidence that consuming soft drinks causes more fat storage in muscle tissue than drinking only water.and the conclusion can be generalized to adults similar to those in the study. D) Although cause-and-effect cannot be established, there is an association between consuming soft drinks f fat storage in muscle tissue for the population of all adults. Although cause-and-effect cannot be established, there is an association between consuming soft drinks it storage in muscle tissue for the population of all adults who consume soft drinks. (b) The population were selected.

Answer

C) There is evidence that consuming soft drinks causes more fat storage in muscle tissue than drinking only water, and the conclusion can be generalized to adults similar to those in the study.

Explanation

The question is a multiple-choice type, asking for the most appropriate conclusion based on a study's results. The study's design allows for causal inference due to random assignment, but generalization should be limited to adults similar to those in the study.
