In experiments,members of experimental and control groups are selected using:

A) sampling frames
B) representative samples
C) probability samples
D) randomization techniques
E) baseline community drawing

Experimental Groups

Groups in scientific research that receive the intervention or treatment being tested, as opposed to a control group which does not.

Control Groups

In experimental research, groups of participants who do not receive the experimental treatment, used as a benchmark to measure the effects of the treatment.

Probability Samples

Sampling methods in research that give each member of a population a known chance of being selected, facilitating the generalization of results to the larger population.

  • Become familiar with different scientific methods of investigation, including field experiments, participant observation, and the relevance of sampling techniques.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Randomization techniques are the best method for selecting members of experimental and control groups as they ensure that every member of the population has an equal chance of being assigned to either group. This helps to minimize the effect of any confounding variables and increase the internal validity of the study. Sampling frames, representative samples, probability samples, and baseline community drawing may be used to select a sample from a larger population, but they do not ensure equal group assignment.
