How to Experiment Well

Question 3 • Academy - Algebra, Functions, and Data Analysis

An education researcher is interested in comparing the learning outcomes of students who are taught a lesson using five different teaching techniques. There are 75 students in the school who can participate in the experiment. Using a table of random digits, the researcher will randomly place the students into five equally sized treatment groups suitable for comparison.

Answer
A
0–4
B
1–5
C
00–75
D
01–75

Explanation

Assign each of the 75 students a distinct number from 01 through 75, then use the random-digit table to select and allocate them to groups of 15. The range 01–75 gives exactly 75 valid student labels. The range 00–75 includes 76 labels, while 0–4 and 1–5 are not enough labels to identify all the students.
