An environmental specialist wants to test whether households that use wood-burning pellet stoves emit more environmental toxins than the typical household that uses any other means of home heating. The researcher compared air quality tests of the wood-burning households to the national average air quality for the United States. What is the appropriate statistical test for this research design?

Identify whether the studies described here are based on (1) single samples, (2) paired samples, or (3) independent samples.   Cardiovascular disease risk factors are compared in husbands and wives. A nutritional exam is applied to a random sample of individuals. Results are compared to the results of the whole nation. An investigator compares vaccination histories in 30 autistic schoolchildren to a simple random sample of non-autistic children from the same school district.

In which of these research designs would you have complete control of the environment?     Cohort     Cross-sectional     Experimental     Case-Control
