To find out the correct option for that the researcher should do to carry out the random assignment for this design.
Answer to Problem 10PT
Option (b) is the correct option.
Explanation of Solution
In the question, it is given that a researcher wants to compare the effects of two fertilizers on the yield of soybeans. She has twenty plots of land available for the experiment and she decided to use a matched pair design to conduct this experiment for ten plots. Thus, to carry out the random assignment for this design, since this is a matched pairs design with ten pairs of plot, one plot of each pair has to be assigned to the first group and the other plot assigned to the second group. The ten pairs in a matched pairs design should be as similar as possible to eliminate extraneous factors and thus answer (b) is then correct option.
