Question 5 • NC-Math 4 CR
The slips are replaced after each draw, so each vehicle has a random chance of receiving either tread. But this does not guarantee that exactly 10 vehicles will receive the new tread and 10 the original tread; one group could end up larger than the other. Therefore, the procedure does not ensure equal-sized treatment groups, as choice C states.
