A matched-pairs design is an experimental design in which the experimental units are ___________.

A _____________ is an explanatory variable that was not considered in a study, but that affects the value of the response variable in the study.

__________ is the process of using chance to select individuals from a population to be included in the sample.

Inferences based on voluntary response samples are generally not reliable.

If the results of the sample are not representative of the population, then the sample has bias.
