15. An experiment was designed to test whether or not students can tell the difference between tap water and
bottled water. For cach student in a class of 20 students, three cups of water will be used. Two of the cups
will be filled with either tap water or bottled water and the final cup filled with the other type. The
students will drink all three cups of water and will be asked to identify which cup ofwater was different
from the others. The type of water to be poured in two of thc three qups will be determined by random
assignment. Which of the following cannot bc used to randomly assign each student to either two cups of
tap water and one cup of bottled water or two cups of bottled water and one cup of tap water?
Put each studcnt's name on cqually sized pieces of paper and then put the names in a
hat. Mix the names thoroughly. The first ten students selected will be given two cups
of tap water and the other students will be given two cups of botted water.

8. An experiment is conducted to sce if learning while using an online website is as effective as leaming
from a teacher who is lecturing. Fifty college students volunteer and will be randomly placed into two
groups. One group of voluntcers will be given a lesson online and the qther group will have a teacher
explain the lesson. After the lcsson, a test will be given to sec which group, on average, scores higher.
What is the purpose of random assignment in the context of this experiment?
So that both groups will have exactly twenty-five voluntcers.
b.
a.
So that both groups of voluntcers are roughly cquivalcnt at the beginning of the
experiment.
So that if there are many voluntcers that prefer leaming online, thcy will be all be
placed into the same group.
d So that if two of the voluntcers know each other, they will be split into different
c.
groups.

- a flute instructor examined student progressarrow_forwardFred is testing a large prize wheel which has the numbers one, two, three, and four repeated along its circumference. When Fred spun the wheel 80 times, the wheel stopped at a one 12 times, at a two 20 times, at a three 20 times, and at a four 28 times. Fred then oiled the wheel and spun it an additional 120 times. This time he obtained frequencies of 12, 20, 32, and 56 respectively. Fred was careful to spin the wheel in the same manner each time a) Does the wheel behave differently after being oiled? (a < .05) b) When the wheel is oiled, is the probability of occurrence of a number proportional to the number (i.e., does the wheel stop at a two twice as often as at a one, etc.)? Use a 5.05.
