Solution
Clarice has identified her population of interest as all students attending the local county high school. She then proceeds to randomly choose high school students for her study by having a random number generator generate possible high school ID numbers.
It is an example of randomly assigning participants to conditions in a study because reseacher uses the random generator here.
-------------------
Susie places the first six people to show up for her study in the experimental group and the next six people in the control group.
It is not a random assignment.
--------------------------
Every time a participant shows up for his study, Mark flips a coin to determine which condition to put the participant in. He predetermined that heads is the control group and tails is the experimental group.
If the coin is bias some biasness may be possible in the sample. So it is not a random assignment.
