Hello,

There are 2 groups (A and B) in my Inquisit web study and I want to randomly assign participants to either group. Participants are re-directed to Inquisit through our local Sona system.
I noticed that so far more participants have been assigned to group B (23) than to group A (12) and would like to make sure that I'm doing things right before recruiting more participants (BTW, when I ran the pilot with 12 people, they were neatly assigned to each group in equal numbers).

The relevant IQX code looks like this:
--
<expt main1>
/groupAssignment = groupNumber
/blocks = [1=intro_procedure;
            ///...
            15=debrief_procedure]    
/groups = (1 of 2)
</expt>

<expt main2>
/groupAssignment = groupNumber
/blocks = [1=intro_procedure;
            ///...
            15=debrief_procedure]

/groups = (2 of 2)
</expt>
--
and in the Participant Ids settings:
--
Choose how participant ids should be generated

>> Sequential

Choose how the group id should be determined

>> Random with replacement

Enter the total number of groups (if any) in the experiment.

>> 2
--
If there is anything that needs to be corrected, would love to hear!
Thanks in advance,
