Caffeine consumption-activity level for school children

Assignment Help Basic Statistics
Reference no: EM13101918

Two researchers are both interested in the relationship between caffeine consumption and activity level for elementary school children. Each obtains a sample of n = 20 children.

a. The first researcher interviews each child to determine the level of caffeine consumption. The researcher then records the level of activity for each child during a 30-minute session on the playground. Is this an experimental or a nonexperimental study? Explain your answer.

b. The second researcher separates the children into two roughly equivalent groups. The children in one group are given a drink containing 300 mg of caffeine and the other group gets a drink with no caffeine. The researcher then records the level of activity for each child during a 30-minute session on the playground. Is this an experimental or a nonexperimental study? Explain your answer.
