Suppose we randomly sample 30 high school students from Braxton High School to participate in a study
designed to compare the effectiveness of two math teachers , Mark and Betsy. We give all 30 students a
math test at the beginning of the school year. Then , we randomly assign 15 students to be in Mark's
math course and randomly assign 15 to be in Betsy 's math course. At the end of the school year, we
make all 30 take a math test, similar to the one taken before instruction began, to estimate improvement.
What type of study is this?
A Observational
®Experimental
~ Anecdotal
