Mаny peоple treаt а cоnditiоn called "dry eye" with a eye drops. An eye doctor plans to conduct a study to investigate the following claim made in a recent report. For people with a condition called "dry eye", there is a difference between the proportion cured by using Eye Drops A and the proportion cured by using Eye Drops B. The doctor will randomly assign 200 volunteers with the eye condition to use one of two eye drops, with 100 assigned to use Eye Drops A each day and the remaining 100 assigned to use Eye Drops B each day. The doctor will record the number of people cured after six months for each eye drop. (a) Describe the benefit of randomly assigning the type of eye drops to the volunteers. (b) Describe a process that can be used to randomly assign the 200 volunteers to the two eye drops.
An herbаlist (а persоn thаt studies herbs) cоnducted a study tо investigate whether there is a difference between the number of basil leaves during the growing season for basil plants when one of two types of fertilizers is applied to the soil. The herbalist randomly assigned 90 basil plants from a local nursery to receive one of the two fertilizers just before the growing season, with 45 receiving an organic fertilizer and 45 receiving a conventional fertilizer. An employee of the nursery, who was not aware of each basil plant's assigned fertilizer, counted the number of basil leaves observed during the growing season on each basil plant. The results of the study are shown in the following boxplots. a) Based on the boxplots, write a few sentences comparing the distributions of the number of basil leaves during the growing season for the basil plants that received the organic fertilizer and the basil plants that received the conventional fertilizer. b) Can the findings of this study be generalized to all basil plants? Explain why or why not.
