question 1

Multiple Choice

Three brands of AAA batteries are compared to determine if differences in
Lifetime exist. Each brand is tested in four devices (TV remote, hand-held game,

• A) This is a completely randomized design in one factor.
• B) The devices serve as blocks to account for the variability between the lengths of time batteries last in different devices.
• C) The interaction effect between brand of battery and type of device is significant.
• D) This is an observational study.
• E) This is a retrospective study.
