Which of the following is a necessary component for an experiment to potentially yield a cause-and-effect conclusion? Random assignment of subjects to treatment groups. None of these. Any experiment can potentially yield a cause-effect conclusion Must be an Observational Study Subjects are recruited by way of a simple random sample.

Select all of the true statements about a placebo-controlled randomized comparative experiment. The experimental design of a placebo-controlled randomized comparative experiment involves dividing subjects into subgroups based on similar characteristics, followed by randomly assigning treatments to subjects within each subgroup. Each experimental subject in a placebo-controlled randomized comparative experiment has an equal probability of being assigned to any of the treatment groups. The placebo control group is designed to control for bias on the part of the researcher. A placebo is an inactive substance that appears to be the same as the experimental treatment. The placebo effect is the phenomenon in which subjects report improvement in their condition after taking a placebo. A placebo control group receives the standard treatment or a diluted treatment. A placebo effect occurs when the placebo yields a positive response from subjects taking it.
