I have as a final project to do an experiment that involves a randomized complete block design, recording the data and doing an analysis with the mathematical component.I need help looking for ideas of what type of experiment I can replicate in real life that does not imply complexity or a lot of time in data collection, something simple, but that complies with the premise of a randomized complete block design.
TDaP is a booster shot that prevents Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis in adults and adolescents. It should be administered every 8 years for it to remain effective. A random sample of 500 people living in a town that experienced a pertussis outbreak this year were divided into two groups. Group 1 was made up of 132 individuals who had not had the TDaP booster in the past 8 years, and Group 2 consisted of 368 individuals who had. In Group 1, 15 individuals caught pertussis during the outbreak, and in Group 2, 11 individuals caught pertussis. Is there evidence to suggest that the proportion of individuals who caught pertussis and were not up to date on their booster shot is higher than those that were? Test at the 0.05 level of significance.

The president of Amalgamated Retailers International, Samiha Peterson, has asked for your assistance in studying the market penetration for the company’s new cell phone. You are asked to study two markets and determine if the difference in market share remains the same. Historically, in market 1 in western Poland, Amalgamated has had a 30% market share. Similarly, in market 2 in southern Austria, Amalgamated has had a 35% market share. You obtain a random sample of potential customers from each area. From market 1, 258 out of a total sample of 800 indicate they will purchase from Amalgamated. From market 2, 260 out of 700 indicate they will purchase from Amalgamated. a. Using a probability of error α = 0.03, test the hypothesis that the market shares are equal versus the hypothesis that they are not equal (market 2 – market 1). b. Using a probability of error α = 0.03, test the hypothesis that the market shares are equal versus the hypothesis that the share in market 2 is larger.

- A recent survey asked 1200 randomly selected U.S. adults if they believe that the U.S. federal government is doing enough to keep U.S. elections safe from outside interference. Of the survey participants, 620 were men and 580 were women. The researchers wanted to know if there was a difference in how men and women responded and decided to conduct a hypothesis test. The researchers predict that there is no difference between the proportion of women (p1) and men (p2) who believe that the U.S. federal government is not doing enough to keep elections safe. Which of the following are the correct null and alternative hypotheses to test this claim? a. Ho: p1 # p2 and Ha: p1 = p2 b. Ho: p1 = p2 and Ha: p1< p2 c. Ho: p1 > p2 and Ha: p1 # p2 d.

On the other hand, Officer B claims that on average, 18,000 cars passing the intersection. Meanwhile, a random sample of 64 days gives a sample mean of 14,205 cars and a sample standard deviation of 1,010 cars. Test both claim at 0.05 level of significance.
