odds ratio - Answer✔️✔️-tells how much more likely people with the

How do you make the groups you are studying as similar as possible? -
Answer✔️✔️-Random assignments: randomly assign people to the groups
Blinding: concealing what group they are a part of (can be single, double,
or triple)
Good placebo: make it look similar to the actual drug or whatever you are
testing for so that people can't obviously tell it's fake
