Which is not a method of random selection?

Randomly pointing to numbers on a page

Using a random number generator

To check the effect of hot temperatures on the elasticity of two brands of rubber bands, one box of Brand A and one box of Brand B rubber bands are tested. Ten bands from the Brand A box are placed in a warm car in the sun for two hours and ten bands from the Brand B box are kept at room temperature. The amount of stretch before the breakage is measured on each rubber band, and the mean for the hot bands is compared to the mean for the others. Is this a good experimental design?

No, because temperature is confounded with brand.

No, because the means are not proper statistics for comparison.

No, because more than two brands should be used.

No, because more temperatures should be used.

A reading specialist in a large public school system believes that the more time students spend reading, the better they will do in school. She plans a middle school experiment in which an SRS of 30 eighth graders will be assigned four extra hours of reading per week, and SRS of 30 seventh graders will be assigned two extra hours or reading per week, and an SRS of 30 sixth graders with no extra assigned reading will be a control group. After one school year, the mean GPAs from each group will be compared. Is this a good experimental design?

No, because grade level is a lurking variable which may well be confounded with the variables under consideration.

No, because while this design may point out an association between reading and GPA, it cannot establish a cause-and-effect relationship.

No, because without blinding, there is a strong chance of a placebo effect.

No, because any conclusion would be flawed because of blocking bias.
