Question

An opinion poll was conducted to know whether parents play a role in shaping a career for their children. Respondents were asked to vote "Yes" if they think parents have a role to play and "No" if they think parents have no role to play in shaping the career of their children. Is the study observational or experimental? If it is an experiment, what is the controlled factor?

Answer 1

I believe the study is oberservational. This is because a poll is simply a way to collect opinions, not gather information, facts or data.
