Question 13 • Statistics

Which method describes an experiment?

Answer
A
Both methods describe experiments because both fonts are used on the assignment.
B
Method B is an experiment because the students are randomly assigned a font.
C
Method A is an experiment because the students choose their own font.
D
Neither method describes an experiment because a third font should be included for comparison.

Explanation

An experiment involves assigning participants to a treatment so the effect can be compared. In Method B, students are randomly assigned a font, which helps make the groups comparable. Students choosing their own font, as in Method A, would make it harder to tell whether the font caused any difference.
