Answer: D. To produce treatment groups with similar characteristics
Step-by-step explanation:
By using randomization in sampling, the Sample would be more representative of the Population it is based off of because different demographic characteristics may be picked.
This leads to a situation where the groups have similar characteristics between themselves thereby making it easier for comparison. For example, Group 1 would have certain types of people that will be represented in Group 2 and Group 3 as well. That way the effects of the drug can be properly studied as it affects different people. For instance, say there are 4 obese people in a sample of 10, instead of group one having all obese people, randomization may be able to give group one, 2 obese people and 2 obese people to group 2 as well. That way when comparing, the effects of the drug on the two groups is easier to be compared because the two groups have similar people.
