The analysis is done in a laboratory, and only three trials can be run on any day. Because days could represent a potential source of variability, the experimenter decides to use a randomized block design. Observations are taken for four days, and the data are shown here.

The study sample is 500 female patients aged 18 years or older who are patients with a diagnosis of breast cancer of several clinics and hospitals in Los Angeles County. Which of the following treatment assignment schemes can be used so that the study is properly called a randomized controlled trial? (choose one best answer) The 1st eligible patient will be assigned to one therapy by flipping a coin and all the following patients will be assigned alternatively to the two therapies so that no two consecutive patients will receive the same therapy.

- The drug Prevnar is a vaccine meant to prevent bacterial meningitis. A randomized, double-blind clinical trial was conducted. A total of 551 people were surveyed. Where the subjects in Group 1 received Prevnar and the subjects in Group 2 received a control vaccine. 137 of 452 subjects in Group 1 and 31 of 99 subjects in Group 2 experienced drowsiness as a side effect.
