A 25-year-old male is partnered up with a 25-year old male,
what is matched pair design
what is involved in the experimental design?
controlling some variables and measuring the changes in other variables.
what's the second step for experimental design?
formulate a hypothesis
a drug is trial for a new pharmaceutical.
what is independent measure design?
True or False: Matched Pair Designs are based on key variables or shared characteristics.

True
The FIRST step of experimental design is...
Define Variables
a group of people with Type II diabetes might be given medications to see if it helps control their disease, and then they might be given nutritional counseling.
what is repeated measure design?
What are the IV and DV of the following example?

what is assign subjects?
A 30-year-old female will be paired with a 30-year-old female
what is matched pairs design?
*BONUS*
What does "I Get Really Mad Matching Penguins" stand for?
IG- Independent Groups
RM- Repeated Measures
MP- Matching Pairs
What is the last step in experimental design
measure the dependent variable
one group receives the actual medication and the other receives a placebo. Participants can only be a member of one of the groups. A new group is created for every treatment.
What is independent measure?
