1. The Toad and the Wart
By Brandon Krauth and Matt Suhy
2. The Question and the Treatment
Do toads cause warts? This will be answered
as we rub toads on multiple people. The
people will be selected randomly from a
random urban area to have the experiment
applied to them.
3. Experiment Design
Toad
Right Arm RA Placebo Toad
Randomly Selected People RA
Toad
Left Arm RA
Placebo Toad
4. Design Principles
Incorporate a control group with the
experimental group by rubbing a real toad and
synthetic toad on separate arms.
5. Blinding and Blocking
The subjects would be blinded to what is being
put on their arms to lessen chance of bias.
The procedure will block left and right hands for
better randomization.
