Two medical researchers, Researcher A and Researcher B, have developed drugs to help combat asthma. Both researchers believe their drug to be the most effective. What results would confirm that Researcher A’s claim about the drug is valid?

A scientific committee conducts the same number and type of experiments on both drugs, and finds that Drug A works 67% of the time while Drug B works 33% of the time

Answer:

Ok, in this case, but researchers think that their drug is better than the other one, so:

What would prove that researcher A is correct about it?

Ok, researcher A and researcher B need to test their drug to see the effectiveness of it (and to see if there are some problems with the drug)

Then, if the drug A has a bigger percentage of effectiveness or/and less secondary effects than drug B, we can conclude that drug A is the most effective and that researcher A's claim is correct.
