Which would probably be a dangerous blood transfusion?
Explanation
Blood type AB contains antibody A, which blood type B does not contain. As a result, antibody A will react against antigen B and will result in dangerous clumping of the blood.
Battery companies make impressive claims about how long their batteries will last. A student decided to test the running time of different batteries to determine which battery lasts the longest. The student tested 6 different batteries, 4 brand name and 2 generic, using flashlights. The results show that the battery referred to as Name Brand A lasted the longest, with 101 hours of runtime:
Flashlight | Battery | Runtime in hours |
Gearlight Super Light | Name Brand A | 101 |
SureFire | Name Brand B | 99 |
Maglight | Name Brand C | 80 |
Bright Star | Name Brand D | 75 |
SureFire | Generic A | 30 |
Bright Star | Generic B | 29 |
It could be argued that this experiment was not set up using proper experimental protocol. What would need to change in the experiment for the results to be valid?
