A researcher wants to determine whether eating blackberries can help reduce the number and severity of sore throats. Ten people have volunteered for a pilot study.
First, try to assign the 10 volunteers to the blackberry treatment group or the control group in a way that feels random.
Your assignments

- Heads = Control
- Tails = Treatment
