24) A new drug apparently increases short-

D) variable
E) effective dose
25) Two groups of people were tested to determine whether garlic lowers blood cholesterol lev

average 12% reduction in the blood cholesterol. The other group was not given any garlic
and after four months averaged a 3% reduction in cholesterol. The group that was not give
n the garlic was the group.
