Describe the design of the experiment or observational study.

Carefully select a group of individuals who have never smoked. Assign the individuals with the lowest body mass indexes to smoke and see if their body mass indexes increase during the course of the study.

Randomly choose one group of people with high body mass indexes and one with low body mass indexes. Then find the percentage of each group who do and do not smoke.

Carefully select a group of individuals who have never smoked. Randomly assign one part of the group to smoke and one part to be the control group. Then find if the smoking group has a higher body mass index after smoking.

Randomly choose one group of individuals who smoke. Then, randomly choose one group of individuals who do not smoke. Find the body mass index of the individuals in each group.

A randomized comparative experiment tests whether a software update affects the user satisfaction scores of teen cell phone users. Greater scores indicate greater satisfaction. The control group has eight teenagers and the treatment group, which receives the software update, has eight teenagers. The table shows the results.

(ADDED BY PATEL) The mayor of Springfield is interested in finding out the average age of people in the city. He obtains a list of all the landline telephones in the city and then contacts a simple random sample of 300 people. He uses the data from the sample to estimate the average age of all the people in the city.
