Jamie is reviewing a new diet plan that involves purchasing pre-packaged meals and taking a patented energy supplement. In an ad explaining how it works, Jamie reads about a study cited as evidence supporting the effectiveness of the plan. In the study, two groups were followed: one following the plan and another following a simple low-carbohydrate diet. What should Jamie look for in the study to have full confidence in its scientific reliability?

Answer:

Jamie should look at the difference in results in the two groups of people.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, two groups are being studied in which the one group is taking the food according to the new diet plan and the other group is taking a simple low-carbohydrate diet. So, for having full confidence in its scientific reliability, Jamie should look that the people taking pre-packaged meals as per the new diet plan are getting better results or not than the people who are taking low carbohydrate diet. If she gets a result in which it is found that new diet plan is giving a positive health benefit to the people then this new plan is scientifically reliable.
