a) Both the guys in the video and the researcher studying treatments know what the actual ANSWER is if they were to conduct their experiment with or on all possible cases.
b) Both experiments involve goats.
c) The guys in the video and a researcher studying treatments conduct their experiment multiple times so that they can learn what happens across several cases.
d) There are no similarities in how a researcher conducts an experiment comparing two treatments and how these guys conducted an experiment to compare two game strategies.

Answer 1

Answer:

c) is the correct one

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Is not true in the case of a videogame, because the outcome of your strategy depends on what your opponent does, therefore, your strategy effectiveness might depend on mind games and execution. Unintuitively, knowing all possible cases doesnt give you a good representation of reality.

b) Maybe the researcher experiment involves goats, but a doubt that the video game relates with goats at all.

c) After you experiment multiple times with anything, you may obtain concrete deductions on what is happening according on the results you obtain from those experiments.
