Question

Jorge is conducting an comparative experiment where he is comparing the heights of adults who grew up taking a certain vitamin and adults who did not. He finds that those who took vitamins are, on average, 2 cm taller. What is a major limitation of his experiment?

Answer 1

Major limitation of Jorge's experiment are -:

• Vast amounts of data can be obtained.
• He does not prove definitively that a person is taller because of vitamins.
• No association between vitamins and height can be seen.

Step-by-step explanation:

ABOUT VITAMINS -:

A vitamin is an organic molecule that is an important micronutrient that an organism requires in limited amounts for the proper functioning of its metabolism (or a chemically closely connected group of molecules, i.e. vitamins). In the body, basic nutrients can not be synthesized in adequate amounts, either at all or not, and must therefore be ingested via a diet.

Hence, the major limitations of the experiment are mentioned above.
