Randomization refers to the process of choosing members of experimental and control groups without bias. This involves using a random sample from the population and assigning subjects to either the experimental or control group randomly, without any preference or preconceived notion of which group they should be assigned to. Randomization helps to ensure that any differences between the groups are due to the treatment being studied, and not due to any confounding variables or biases.
