| Oct 7, 2017 at 15:52 | comment | added | Ott Toomet | Maybe it assumes these histograms keep the groups distinct? I am teacher myself and it is terribly easy to come up with confusing wording when creating problem sets... | |
| Oct 7, 2017 at 15:49 | comment | added | wrong_path | Exactly. This is why I am confused. The question explicitly says to compare the $2$ histograms. Thank you. | |
| Oct 7, 2017 at 15:47 | comment | added | Ott Toomet | So you are asked to do 2 histograms, both of which contain both groups? I don't see much use of it. It answers roughly the question: what is the average effect of the drug if only part of the population takes the drug, and there are no time trends otherwise. | |

| Oct 7, 2017 at 15:42 | comment | added | wrong_path | Thank you for your answer. Maybe I did not explain what we have to do clearly. Basically I will make two histograms: one for the "before" variable and one for the "after" variable (before taking a drug and after taking it, for instance). But in both the histograms I will have both the treatment and the control groups. I am not asked to make $4$ histograms: before/after treatment and before/after control. | |
