Q#1. What is the type of analysis used in this scenario? I stated that it is correlational analysis, but my instructor said that it is incorrect. Research Scenario 1: A researcher is interested in the effects of a new weight loss supplement. Participants in this double-blind study are randomly assigned to either a group that receives the new supplement or a group that receives a placebo. Participants are weighed before starting the program. After 6 weeks of taking either the new supplement or the placebo, participants return to the lab to be weighed.
