Research has shown a weak association between living near a major power line and the incidence of leukemia in children. Such a study might measure the incidence of leukemia in children who live near a major power line and compare it to the incidence in children who don’t live near a major power line. Typically, the children in the areas near major power lines are matched by characteristics such as age, sex, and family income to children in the areas not near major power lines.
a. Identify the subjects, conditions, and response variable in such a study.
b. Is this type of study a true experiment? Explain why or why not.
c. According to a newspaper article, “While there is a clear association between high-voltage power lines and childhood leukemia, there is no evidence that the power lines actually cause leukemia.” Why might the newspaper come to this conclusion?
