The Budget office of the State of Texas is contemplating two alternative plans to explore a change in how it utilizes press releases.
Plan A: Send press releases 1 through 5 (Group 1) using the existing approach. Send press releases 6 through 10 (Group 2) using the new approach. All newspapers on their list will receive both groups of releases. Compare average number of news items resulting from Group 1 with the number resulting from Group 2.
Plan B: Compare the number of news items being shown in 3 groups of newspapers. · Group 1: 25 randomly assigned papers will receive press releases 1-5 using the new approach. · Group 2: 25 randomly assigned papers will receive press releases 1-5 using the old approach. · Group 3: 25 remaining papers will not receive press releases 1-5.
The Budget office is exploring if either approach leads to increased readership which is evaluated by the number of papers sold.
