- Random Assignment is the process of randomly assigning experimental units (subjects)
to treatments to create treatment groups that are similar (except for chance variation)
before treatments are applied.
- Note: It is the experimental units that are randomly assigned
- Random assignment reduces the chances of systematic differences and reduces the chances
of confounding the treatment effects
