Chapter 4: Q 92. (page 260)

In the experiment of the previous exercise, the 240 subjects are labeled 001 to 240 The software randomly assigns 60 subjects to each of the four diets. This is

(a) a completely randomized design.

(b) a randomized block design.

(c) a matched pairs design.

(d) an observational study.

(e) an SRS.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is (a) a completely randomized design.

Step by step solution

01

Given information 

001 through 240 are the numbers assigned to the 240 subjects. The software assigns 60 people to each of the four diets at random.

02

Concept

The random assignment method assigns subjects to treatments based on chance. Before the treatments are applied, random assignment establishes treatment groups that are comparable (except for chance variance). In experiments, randomization and comparison combined prevent bias, or systematic favoritism.

03

Explanation

The 240 individuals are labelled 001 to 240 in the previous exercise, and the soft reassigns sixty participants to each of the four diets. The subjects are then placed into treatment groups at random. As a result, no blocks or pairs are employed. Because therapies are used, this is not an observational research. As a result, unlike a random assignment, this is a simple random pick. As a result, option (a) is the proper choice.

Sampling frame Ideally, the sampling frame in a sample survey should list every individual in the population, but in practice, this is often difficult.

Suppose that a sample of households in a community is selected at random from the telephone directory. Explain how this sampling method results in under coverage that could lead to bias.

Instant opinion A recent online poll posed the question 鈥淪hould female athletes be paid the same as men for the work they do?鈥欌�� In all, 13,147(44%)said 鈥淵es,鈥欌�� 15,182(50%)said 鈥淣o,鈥欌�� and the remaining 1448 said, 鈥淒on鈥檛 know.鈥� In spite of the large sample size for this survey, we can鈥檛 trust the result. Why not?

Effects of class size Do smaller classes in elementary school really benefit students in areas such as scores on standardized tests, staying in school, and going on to college? We might do an observational study that compares students who happened to be in smaller and larger classes in their early school years. Identify a lurking variable that may lead to confounding with

the effects of small classes. Explain how confounding might occur.

Baseball tickets Suppose you want to know the average amount of money spent by the fans attending opening day for the Cleveland Indians baseball season. You get permission from the team鈥檚 management to conduct a survey at the stadium, but they will not allow you to bother the fans in the club seating or box seats (the most expensive seating). Using a computer,

you randomly select 500 seats from the rest of the stadium. During the game, you ask the fans in those seats how much they spent that day.

(a) Provide a reason why this survey might yield a biased result.

(b) Explain whether the reason you provided in (a) is a sampling error or a non sampling error.

Who goes to the convention? A club has 30 student members and 10 faculty members. The students are

The club can send 4 students and 2 faculty members to a convention. It decides to choose those who will go by random selection. How will you label the two strata? Use Table D, beginning at line 123 to choose a stratified random sample of 4 students and 2 faculty members.
