Researchers are testing shoes for comfort. They recruit more than 750 adults and randomly assigned half of the subjects to a name-brand shoe, while the other half were assigned to a shoe with no name-brand on the label. On average, the shoes with the name-brand were judged to be more comfortable. Based on this study, is it reasonable to conclude that including the name-brand on the label causes an increase in comfort?
