Question

5 On 3 November 2009, the blog lifehacker contained a posting by an individual with chronic toenail fungus. He remarked that after many years of suffering and trying all sorts of cures, he resorted to sanding his toenail as thin as he could tolerate, followed by daily application of vinegar and hydrogen-peroxide-soaked bandaids on his toenail. He repeated the vinegar peroxide bandaging for 100 days. After this time his nail grew out and the fungus was gone. Using the language of statistics, what kind of evidence is this

Answer 1

Anecdotal

Step-by-step explanation:

Anecdotal evidence is evidence that comes from personal testimony. Usually, anecdotal evidence is collected in an informal way as opposed to a systematic one. Moreover, this evidence tends to be presented without objective or independent backing. Scientists generally do not consider anecdotal evidence to be a good representation of the population.
