Equal size random assignment I am doing a ab test. I want to test if a treatment is statistically better than a control. I want to split 30 subjects randomly and evenly into two groups. My way is first generate random number for these 30 subjects, and then sort them in an ascending order. Finally, assign first 15 subjects into A group, and the rest to B group.
My questions are

*

*Are there any problems with this random assignment method ?

*Can I still use statistical test, like t test and chi square test under this setting ?

*Why is it rarely see people use this method ? Compare to this method, what are the benefits of simple random assignment ? (In web application setting)


Your procedure is the same as if you had a bowl with two kinds of tickets: one kind would have a “$\le 15$” note and another kind “$> 15$”, $15$ of each kind, where your participants would randomly draw the tickets from the bowl. It is just another way of operationalizing the procedure of randomly assigning participants to equally sized groups.
