A study conducted by researchers from the Department of Education wanted to

random sample of students from each class. Which sampling method did they
use?
Stratified random sampling
Systematic random sampling
Cluster sampling
Simple random sampling
Stratified Random Sampling
Students in an Introductory Statistics class at BYU-Idaho were studying prices of
cold cereal at grocery stores in Rexburg. To get a sample of cold cereal prices,

moving from left to right down the shelves, recording the name, size, and price of
each cereal in their sample. Which sampling method did they use?
Stratified random sampling

Cluster sampling
Simple random sampling

selected for the study
c) An observational study, because the students had no control over the price of
the individual cereals
, d) An observational study, because the students had no control over which

Say that you are a researcher for a large pharmaceutical company that has
produced a new drug that is believed to help reduce the risk of developing
arthritis. You test the drug and compare it to a placebo by randomly choosing
one group of men and women in their 50's to take the drug and one group of men
and women in their 50's to take a placebo. Each participant takes the drug or
placebo for a period of 10 years, after which the effects of the drug are measured
against the effects of the placebo. What (or who) are the experimental units or
subject?
a) All men and women in their 50's
b) The men and women who took the drug or placebo
