Matched Pairs Design
Participants in each cindition are matched for certain variables.
1 of 50
Oppertunity Sampling
Participants that are available are selected for study.
2 of 50
Random Sampling
Each member of the target population has an equal chance of being selected.

Experimental/Alternative Hypothesis

Independant Design
Where different participants are allocated in each experimental condition.
