Question

In a study to add a new feature to a software program, the programmer introduced two categories, men and women, in the survey she conducted. Is the study observational or experimental

Answer 1

Observational

Step-by-step explanation:

In an observational study, the researcher simply conducts the observation of certain factors without intervening. This is unlike an experimental study where the researcher introduces controls in the research so as to compare the changes between the treated and the untreated groups.

The study above is an observational study because only two groups were surveyed and no control was used in the experiment to compare changes.
