We can't conclude that drugs prolong life because this was an observational study.
A study of treatments for angina (pain due to low blood supply to the heart) compared bypass surgery, angioplasty, and use of drugs. The study looked at the medical records of thousands of angina patients whose doctors had chosen one of these treatments.
it gave every possible sample of the same size an equal chance to be selected.
Tonya wanted to estimate the average amount of time that students at her school spend on Facebook each day. She gets an alphabetical roster of students in the school from the register's office and numbers the students from 1 to 1137. Then Tonya uses a ran
Random assignment will tend to average out all other uncontrolled factors such as soil fertility so that they are not confounded with the treatment effects.
Consider an experiment to investigate the effectiveness of different insecticides in controlling pests and their impact on the productivity of tomato plants. What is the best reason for randomly assigning treatment levels (spraying or not spraying) to the
experiments can give better evidence of causation
The most important advantage of experiments over observational studies is that
A stratified sample from the cities and towns in the market area.
A TV station wishes to obtain information on the TV viewing habits in its market area. The market area contains one city of population 170,000, another of 70,000 and four towns of about 5000 inhabitants each. The station suspects that the viewing habits m
any difference between the sample result and the truth about the population that tends to occur in the same direction whenever you use this sampling method.
Bias in a sampling method is
subjectively divide the 20 plots into 10 pairs (making the plots within a pair within a pair as similar as possible) and then, for each pair, flip a coin to assign the fertilizers to the 2 plots.
A researcher wishes to compare the effects of two fertilizers on the yield of soybeans She has 20 plots of land available for the experiment, and she decides to use a matched pairs design with 10 pairs of plots. To carry out the random assignment for this
