Question

Identify which of these designs is most appropriate for the given​ experiment: completely randomized​ design, randomized block​design, or matched pairs design.
A drug is designed to treat insomnia. In a clinical trial of the​ drug, amounts of sleep each night are measured before and after subjects have been treated with the drug.
The most appropriate is (randomized block, matched pairs, completly randomized) design.

Answer 1

Answer:

Matched pairs design

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the options;

-It's not a completely randomized design because a randomized design will assign all individuals to a group which in this case it doesn't.

- It's not a randomized block design because randomized block design will group the subjects in question into 2 or more blocks which have a common characteristic and will then randomly assign subjects in each of the blocks.

-It's a matched pair because every individual/subject undergoes measurements both before and after being treated with the drugs.

Thus, the correct option is matched pairs design.
