Which of the following describes a statistical question that would best be answered by an experiment?(1 point)

1 answer

To determine which question best suits experimentation, we typically look for a question that involves testing a hypothesis through controlled manipulation, isolating variables, and measuring outcomes. Here are some examples of statistical questions that can be answered by experiments:

  1. Does a new fertilizer increase the growth rate of tomato plants compared to no fertilizer?
  2. How does different study methods affect the exam scores of students?
  3. What impact does a new medication have on blood pressure compared to a placebo?

If you provide a set of specific questions, I can help you identify which one would be best suited for an experimental approach.
