Answers will vary. 
Observation: After administering Drug Y, cholesterol levels went down in human subjects.
Hypothesis: Drug Y lowers cholesterol in humans. If blood cholesterol levels are measured after Drug Y is administered to human subjects, then blood cholesterol levels would be lower than before administration of Drug Y.
Experiment: Take a large number of human subjects and divide them into two groups. One group is the Experimental group, and the other is the Control group. Measure initial cholesterol levels in both groups. Administer Drug Y to subjects in the Experimental group only. Measure cholesterol levels again in both groups.
Data: Collect data from both groups
Analysis: See if data supports hypothesis
Conclusion: Data either supports or fails to support the hypothesis. Repeat experiment with appropriate modifications.
