2) In a different study, patients were divided randomly into two groups. One group received a well-known migraine headache medication called Maxalt, while another group received nothing. On average, there was a 40% decrease in pain levels after 2 hours for the group receiving Maxalt. The group who received nothing had a 15% decrease in pain. Part A: The patients were divided randomly, so the groups should be roughly similar. Unfortunately, there is still a confounding variable in this study....
