Wouldn't it be more accurate to say "evenly" rather than "randomly" split? Let's say you know that there are 10,000 people between the age of 60-80 in the study. You should identify them and split them evenly right?
Looks like basic biology here! Although, in most scientific studies, you would want to split the group into at least 3, right? You always want to have a control group. However, the point above is well taken.
Perhaps It is because I did STEM in my undergrad, but this is so incredibly important to the LSAT and the actual law. Say an expert witness for a case discusses that X was caused by Y as determined by an experiment. If they did not account for Z, and Z occurs in this case and could be correlated to the outcome of Y, how could we conclusively blame X for causing Y? Z Could very well have caused Y!
So if we were to weaken an argument that X caused Y, and one of the options was discussing Z, which was also present and could lead to Y, that would significantly weaken the argument that X caused Y
" But even humdrum participants won't cut it simply because there aren't enough of them to capture the vast variety of characteristics in the population." I think you misspelled "hundred" unless you meant unexciting and dull people.
can someone help me out how is this part of the "experiment" going to help us in the lsat that is something im confused about and I dont understand this part of the section so can someone please help me see the benefit in this part?
under what context do you run an expriement It would be helpful to see this used in a question stem #help

Is it not necessary for an ideal experiment to be repeated? Wouldn't the number of times the experiment is repeated affect the strength of causality?

The point is.…¿ LSAT
It should really be clear about how this applies to the LSAT.
can someone help me out how is this part of the "experiment" going to help us in the lsat that is something im confused about and I dont understand this part of the section so can someone please help me see the benefit in this part?
#feedback Typo: "But even humdrum participants won't cut it simply because..." im assuming it was meant to be "a hundred"
#feedback Typo: “Why couldn't we have
