Next, separate the participants into two groups by using range matching (decide on your acceptable ranges in advance, for example, within 5 pounds).
a.)Match as many pairs of female participants as possible: find a match and randomly assign one to the first group, and the other to the second group. Next, do the same for the male participants.
b.)Next, match not only on gender, but also on weight.
c.)Finally, match the participants on all three variables.
3.) Finally, match the 40 participants on gender, weight, and height, using rank-ordered matching.
40 Participants to be matched:
Name Gender Weight (lbs.) Height (in.)
