Electrical engineers are attempting to maximize the efficiency of an experimental battery cell.They wish to determine the optimum charge rate that will provide the maximum battery capacity.They sample 50 cells and randomly assign five different charge rates to the sample (10 cells for each charge rate).All cells are then discharged at the same rate, with the total battery capacity for each cell being recorded in amp-hours.This is an example of a(n) ______________ study.
A) simple random
B) experimental
C) observational
D) probability

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is an experimental study because the researchers are manipulating the charge rate, randomly assigning it to different cells and then measuring the effect on battery capacity.
