1.17 The difference between averages (A í B) in the observed outcome is 78.00 í 62.67 = +15.33
points. In the list that follows, there are three outcomes (nos. 1, 34, and 35) that have a difference
as large or larger in magnitude as the observed difference. The two-sided p-value is therefore
3/35 = 0.0857.

1.18 Outcomes will vary with different randomizations. See text Display 1.7
1.19 Coin flips will not divide the subjects in such a way that there is an exact age balance. However,
it is impossible to tell prior to the flips which group will have a higher average age.
1.20 The randomization scheme suggested in problem 18 works. So would dealing five red and five
black cards after shuffling. Once again it will not guarantee an exact age balance, but the group
that gets the higher average is not predictable in advance of the randomization.
1.21 There is no computation involved. This is, however, a sobering exercise.
