Question 1 • Statistics and Probability

Has the principle of comparison been addressed in this experimental design?

Answer
A
No, because a placebo ball was not used, a comparison cannot be made to determine if the new ball travels significantly farther.
B
No, because all of the new type of balls are not hit first, the distances they travel cannot be compared to the distances of the original ball.
C
Yes, because the original ball type is included in this experiment, the distances the different balls travel can be accurately compared.
D
Yes, because the balls are randomly selected, the distances of the new ball can be compared to the distances of the original ball.
