Bulls can develop respiratory issues as they get older. This may compromise their ability to breath properly which affects their energy level and overall health. A researcher wishes to conduct a study to find which of two injection therapies, Therapy A or Therapy B, is more effective in improving respiratory health. A total of 180 bulls that are at least 12 years old will be randomly selected from ranches in the state of Texas. The researcher will get consent from all owners, treat the bulls for eight months and evaluate changes in respiratory health. Part A: How would the study benefit from adding a control group? (2 points) Part B: What is the best way to randomly place the bulls into the Therapy A, Therapy B, and control groups? (4 points) Part C: The researcher wants to use a blocking variable to place the bulls into groups instead of doing it randomly. He decides to block either by breed or ranch. Explain which would be the best blocking method. (4 points)

Name and describe the three most important measures of central tendency. choose the correct answer below. a. the mean, sample size, and mode are the most important measures of central tendency. the mean of a data set is the sum of the observations divided by the middle value in its ordered list. the sample size of a data set is the number of observations. the mode of a data set is its highest value in its ordered list. b. the sample size, median, and mode are the most important measures of central tendency. the sample size of a data set is the difference between the highest value and lowest value in its ordered list. the median of a data set is its most frequently occurring value. the mode of a data set is sum of the observations divided by the number of observations. c. the mean, median, and mode are the most important measures of central tendency. the mean of a data set is the product of the observations divided by the number of observations. the median of a data set is the lowest value in its ordered list. the mode of a data set is its least frequently occurring value. d. the mean, median, and mode are the most important measures of central tendency. the mean of a data set is its arithmetic average. the median of a data set is the middle value in its ordered list. the mode of a data set is its most frequently occurring value.
