Hypothesis: If a person eats the seasickness medicine, then that person shouldn’t be feel seasick when sent to the sea

Independent variable: speed of the ship (20 knots), the weather and waves of the ship (25˚C, low waves), amount of medication given (the whole treatment of that specific medicine to take effect), time spent on sea (4 hours), location of the person within the ship, the time experiment is taken at

Dependent variable: whether or not the patient has seasickness.

Age group of this experiment will range from children to the elderly, who have been known to have sea sickness quickly than other people (age groups will only count: 5-12, 12-18, 19-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+). Random selection will ensure that there is the same amount of female and males.

The whole study will be done in a double-blind process, in order to make sure the drug has complete effect on the person and to find a certain correlation. By doing so, a self-fulfilling prophecy could be avoided and so half of the experiments will receive that medication, while the others will receive a placebo.

Results will be seen amongst the different age groups, and so a correlation could be checked. If most of the results show that the placebo had no effect, and that the medicine did take direct medical effect and prevented sea sickness--the medicine works, and the correlation should be above 0.5. But if the medicine did not work along with the placebo, then the correlation should be below -0.5.
