Which statements are true? Check all that apply.

Blocking should use a characteristic relevant to the study, so grouping students by ability level (advanced or on-level) is appropriate; month of birth is not relevant. Within each ability block, students should be assigned separately to the homework and no-homework groups. The size of each block depends on how many students are in each ability group, so the blocks do not necessarily contain 30 students each.
