Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Students should explain that the act of random sampling is a defining feature of a true experiment. Random sampling refers to a process that generates a mathematically random result. It leads to a way to divide a collection of cases into two or more groups in order to increase one's confidence that:
(i) The groups do not differ in a systematic way
(ii) Unknown, extraneous variables are controlled for
(iii) Statistical techniques and reasoning that relies on randomization are used.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
