What is the purpose of experimental designs in statistics?

To analyze pre-existing data

To estimate population parameters

To establish causality between variables

To describe the characteristics of a population

What is a control group in an experimental design?

A group that does not receive any treatment

A group that receives the experimental treatment

A group that is randomly selected from the population

A group that serves as a reference for comparison

What is randomization in experimental design?

The process of selecting the control group randomly

The process of assigning participants to treatment groups randomly

The process of selecting participants randomly

The process of collecting data randomly

What is replication in experimental design?

Repeating the experiment with the same variables

Collecting data from a single source

Repeating the experiment with different variables

Collecting data from multiple sources

What is blocking in experimental design?

Grouping participants based on similar characteristics

Randomly assigning participants to treatment groups

Randomly selecting a sample from the population

Removing outliers from the data

What is the purpose of blocking in experimental design?

To ensure a balanced representation of different treatments

To reduce the variability within treatment groups

To control for confounding variables

To increase the sample size of the experiment

What is a factorial design in experimental design?

An experiment with multiple control groups

An experiment with multiple outcome variables

An experiment with multiple independent variables

An experiment with multiple treatment groups

What is a confounding variable in experimental design?

A variable that affects the dependent variable and is correlated with the independent variable

A variable that is controlled by the researcher

A variable that is randomly assigned to participants

A variable that is measured in the experiment

What is the purpose of random assignment in experimental design?

To ensure an equal distribution of control groups across treatment groups

To ensure an equal distribution of confounding variables across treatment groups

To ensure an equal distribution of participants across treatment groups

To ensure an equal distribution of dependent variables across treatment groups

What is a single-blind study in experimental design?

A study where only the researcher is aware of the treatment

A study where the treatment is known to everyone involved

A study where neither the participants nor the researcher are aware of the treatment

A study where only the participants are aware of the treatment

What is a double-blind study in experimental design?

A study where only the participants are aware of the treatment

A study where neither the participants nor the researcher are aware of the treatment

A study where the treatment is known to everyone involved

A study where only the researcher is aware of the treatment

What is a matched pairs design in experimental design?

An experiment where participants are matched based on similar characteristics and each pair receives the same treatment

An experiment where each participant is randomly assigned to a treatment group

An experiment where each participant receives multiple treatments

An experiment where participants are matched based on similar characteristics and each pair receives different treatments

What is the purpose of a pilot study in experimental design?

To select participants for the experiment

To determine the sample size needed for the experiment

To collect preliminary data before conducting the main study

To establish a control group for comparison

What is an interaction effect in experimental design?

The effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable

The effect of a confounding variable on the dependent variable

The combined effect of multiple independent variables on the dependent variable

The effect of randomization on the dependent variable

What is the purpose of statistical analysis in experimental design?

To test the significance of differences between groups

To describe the characteristics of the population

To collect and organize the data

To estimate population parameters
