The experimenter will assign people to either group A or B using a random assignment procedure.

A coin toss is an example of randomness; each time, assuming the tosses are independent, the probability of getting either heads or tails is p = .5. Therefore, the assignment of people for either group A or B is random.

Since each outcome has equal probability, tossing a coin in an experiment would be an example of random assignment.
