Surveys, Experiments, and Observational Studies

In a randomized comparative experiment, the individuals are assigned to the control group or the treatment group at random, in order to minimize bias.

Example Explain whether each situation is an experiment or an observational study. A. A researcher wants to know if a soil additive makes a fern grow more quickly. He grows one specimen in treated soil and one in untreated soil. B. To find out whether car accidents are more likely on rainy days, a researcher records the weather conditions during 50 randomly selected accidents for the past year. C. A scientist measures the height of 20 birds’ nests, and counts the number of eggs to see if there is a relationship.

Example The study described in the report is a randomized comparative experiment. Describe the treatment, the treatment group, and the control group.

Example The study described in the report is a randomized comparative experiment. Describe the treatment, the treatment group, and the control group.

Example Explain whether the research topic is best addressed through an experiment or an observational study.

Example Classify each method as a survey, an experiment, or observational study, and explain which would be most reliable. Method A:Method B:Method C: Choose 50 people who have at least one serving of soy a day and 50 who don’t, and check their cholesterol levels. Randomly choose 100 people. Ask how many servings of soy they have a week, and ask if their cholesterol levels are high. Randomly choose 50 people to eat at least one serving of soy a day, and 50 people not to, and monitor their cholesterol levels.

Example Classify each method as a survey, an experiment, or an observational study, and explain which would be most reliable.
