What is the Type of Analysis for Research Scenario #1? My instructor said that my answer is incorrect. What is the correct answer and why? I stated that the "Type of Analysis: Correlation analysis would be the most appropriate method to determine if there is a difference between the groups following the introduction of the new supplement for this research question. Using correlation analysis, you can determine the direction and strength of the linear relationship between two or more variables. Normative, linear, and homoscedasticity are the assumptions of correlation."

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.
