estimate the number of headaches they have had in the past six months, and compares the number of headaches
1
reported by those who take aspirin regularly to the number of headaches reported by those who do not take aspirin
regularly. With regard to all people in the country, this study is likely to:
 A. provide accurate information because a random sample of size 1,600 has a margin of error of 2.5%
 B. be somewhat unrealistic because doctors are not representative of the population
 C. provide inaccurate inference because 1,600 doctors is a tiny proportion of the population of the country
 D. provide accurate information because the subjects were chosen randomly
2 Which measure of central tendency takes into account the magnitude of scores?
 A. Mean
 B. Median
 C. Mode
 D. Range
To test the effects of sleepiness on driving performance, twenty volunteers took a simulated driving test under each

randomized, and an evaluator rated their driving accuracy without knowing the condition of the volunteer. This type
of experiment is a:
 A. single-blind, matched-pair experiment
 B. single-blind, block design experiment.
 C. double-blind, matched-pair experimen
 D. retrospective observational study
