Simple randomization can be conducted using several methods, including:
Random Number Tables: Pre-generated tables of random numbers can be used to assign participants to different groups. Computational Algorithms: Software tools can generate random sequences for group assignments, ensuring randomness. Random Draw: Using physical methods like drawing lots or flipping a coin, though less common, can also be used.
Each method ensures that each participant has an equal probability of being assigned to any group, maintaining the integrity of the trial.
