You need to use `simple random sampling` if you want to generalize your results from experiment to the entire population.

Answer 10

Since this is going to be an experiment, you will be splitting your sample into two groups : treatment, control

treatment group uses the medication and the control group wont get any medication. In the end you compare both the groups and can conclude the effectiveness of the new medication. This is an experiment, so you can make `cause-effect` based conclusions, and since the sample is simple random, you can generalize the results to entire population
