Question

How would you use a completely randomized experiment in each of the following settings?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Two methods of fund raising is being tested here in the first case study. To make a completely randomized experiment. I would use and randomly assign half the population of the 1000 donor sample that will be sent literature about the successful activities of the charity and asked to make another donation to one of the two treatment conditions: which is a sent literature about the successful activities of the charity. While the placebo group would be the other 500 donors contacted by phone and asked to make another donation with no influence whatever from the charity.

b. For the second case study, To make a completely randomized experiment. I would use and randomly assign 43 particupants which are to be given a gel that contains the tooth-whitening chemicals to the treatment condition containing the tooth-whitening chemicals while the placebo group would be the remaining 42 which are to be given a similar-looking package of gel that does not contain the tooth-whitening chemicals.

c. Using three blocks: the completely randomized design experiment would be:

Donors younger than 30 years old:

Sent literature: Yes No

Contact by phone: Yes No

Donors 30 to 59 years old:

Sent literature: Yes No

Contact by phone: Yes No

Donors 60 and older:

Sent literature: Yes No

Contact by phone: Yes No

(Yes means yes to another donation and No means no to another donation)
