Answer 1

Answer:

Following are the responses to the given question:

Step-by-step explanation:

In point 1

The random selection stratified: although 50 statements belong to 5 different groups.

In point 2:

Coincide pair design: As we're in the SAME location to measure the difference between the downstream and upstream fractures. Although when calculating a top-down split they need only to calculate the low-up split which corresponds to the top-down split.

In point 3:

Matched layout: As 100 individuals were chosen and ALL were required to give BOTH and document certain responses.

In point 4:

SRS: RANDOMLY has also been selected since 20 spring break goals.
