1.6 True or false a) In a case-control study, the selection of controls is critical. Controls should come from people who were without the disease, but from a population where persons are at risk of becoming cases, though selected independent of the exposure of interest. b) A sample is randomly drawn from a population, the difference between sample statistics and the corresponding population parameter is called a bias. c) An experimental study differs from an observational study in that the investigators in the experiment study will intentional modify a condition as measured in a group of study subjects, but leave a comparison group intact, whereas in an observational study, the investigators will not manipulate conditions. d) In a probability sample, the likelihood with which each subject is drawn from the population is known; while in a non-probability sample this is unknown.
