Makers of generic drugs are required to show that their generic drugs do not differ significantly from the "reference" or brand name drugs that they imitate. one aspect in which the generic drugs might differ is their extent of absorption in the blood. twelve subjects were available for the study. six were randomly selected to receive the generic drug first and then, after a washout period, receive the "reference" drug. the remaining six received the "reference" drug first, followed by the generic drug after the washout period.
what type of experiment is this?
why is the randomnization condition met for performing this matched pairs procedure?
select one:
a. the subjects were randomly selected from all possible subjects who take the drug.
b. six subjects were randomly selected from the 12 to receive the generic drug first and the remaining six to receive the reference drug first.
c. a stratified sample was taken with 6 subjects randomly selected from those who take the generic drug and 6 subjects randomly selected from those who take the reference drug.
d. the randomness condition actually was not met.
