Example of Simple Random Assignment
A basic method for conducting simple random assignment with two conditions is flipping a coin for each participant; landing on heads assigns the individual to one condition, while tails assigns them to the other. If the study involves three conditions, researchers might instead use a computer to generate a random integer between one and three for each participant, placing them into the corresponding group based on the generated number.
