Which is an example of a study in which a nonequivalent control-group design could be used?
A) We want to evaluate the effectiveness of an anti-smoking campaign using two different schools. We suspect that one school has a higher rate of smoking than the other.
B) A new treatment approach for hyperactivity is to be tested in a special school using three different classes. The classes, however, are at different levels of hyperactivity.
