Question

In a survey conducted by USA Today, 1465 Internet users chose to respond to this question posted on the USA Today electronic edition: "Is news online as satisfying as print and TV news?" 52% of the respondents said "yes". Determine whether the study is an experimental or an observational study.

Answer 1

Answer: observational

The researchers are merely observing the people being surveyed. An experiment is not conducted because we don't have two groups of "control group" vs "treatment group".
