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.

Explanation:
Translate every verbal statement into an algebraic statement,
<u>1. Keith has $500 in a savings account at the beginning of the summer.</u>
<u>2. He wants to have at least $200 in the account by the end of summer. </u>
<u />
<u>3. He withdraws $25 a week for his cell phone bill.</u>
<u />
- Call w the number of weeks
<u>4. Write an inequality that represents Keith's situation.</u>
- Create your model: Final amount = Initial amount - withdrawals ≥ 500
With that inequality you can calculate how many week will pass before his account has less than the amount he wants to have in the account by the end of summer:
That represents that he can afford spending $ 25 a week during 12 weeks to have at least $ 200 in the account.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that the two prisms have bases of equal area.
Then the volume of the rectangular prism is V = (base area)(height).
The volume of the triangular prism is V = (1/3)(base area)(height)
We could compare the two volumes by creating the ratio inequality
(1/3) (base area)(t-height)
------------------------------------------
(base area)(r-height)
The triangular prism will have the greater volume for (1/3)((t-height) > r-height.
Answer:
Regression to the mean fallacy
Step-by-step explanation:
It assumes that something has returned to normal because of corrective actions taken while it was abnormal. This fails to account for natural fluctuations. It is frequently a special kind of the post hoc fallacy.
