80 mothers and sons as pairs

100 before and after clinical trial patients

Answer 1

Correct answer- 80 random students from 2 random colleges

Explanation:

Since the students and college are random. They is no connection between the students of one college and the other.

In case of 50 husband and wife couples, they are dependent on each other

In case of 80 mothers and sons as pairs, again there is biological connection between the two.

In case of 100 before and after clinical trial patients, here the observations are taken on the same patient hence they are connected.
