A political scientist is interested in US citizen’s opinions about US troops being withdrawn from Syria. He randomly phones 1000 individuals who have identified themselves as belonging to the Republican political party. He randomly assigns 500 of the individuals to Group 1 and asks them the following: “Republican Senator Lindsay Graham has said that he believes that troops should be kept in Syria.
