Question
You want to design an experiment to test whether talking on a hands free phone while driving has the same effect on reaction times as talking on a hand held phone. You have available a driving simulator and 19 adult male volunteers 3 of whom have driven race cars professionally. You wish to maximize the amount of data obtained from this group, and also wish to minimize the impact of the professional drivers on the results. Use a diagram or flowchart to outline the design of an experiment that will achieve those goals.
Explanation / Answer
We have total 22 people of which include 3 racers
We need to divide the people into two equal groups with 11 each
To maximize the amount of data, we distrubute two treatments to two equal size groups
Now, in order to minize the effect of racers we need to divide them into two groups
one in hands free group
one in hand held phone
other into any one of the group
population distribution normal professional hands free 10 1 hands held 9 2Related Questions
