question

A pharmaceutical company wants to test a new cholesterol-reducing drug against the previous drug. It does not anticipate much association between cholesterol level and gender, but it does anticipate an association between cholesterol level and the amount of exercise a person gets. For a randomized block design, it should:

choices

  1. Block on gender because it is not associated with cholesterol level.
  2. Block on gender because males and females are different.
  3. Block on the type of drug because it may be associated with cholesterol level.
  4. Block on exercise level because it is associated with cholesterol level.
