31. Question #15, 50 points Mr. Krabs created a secret ingredient for a breath mint that he thinks will “cure” the bad breath people get from eating crabby patties at the KrustyKrab. He asked 100 customers with a history of bad breath to try his new breath mint. He had fifty customers (group A) eat a breath mint after they finished eating a crabby patty. The other fifty (group B) also received a breath mint after they finished the sandwich. However, it was just a regular breath mint and did not have the secret ingredient. Both groups were told that they were getting the breath mint that would cure their bad breath. Two hours after eating the crabby patties, thirty customers in group A and two customers in group B reported having better breath than they normally had after eating crabby patties.
