question

A teacher believes that giving her students a practice quiz every week will motivate them to study harder, leading to a greater overall understanding of the course material. She tries this technique for a year, and everyone in the class achieves a grade of at least C. Is this an experiment or an observational study?

category

math

options

  1. An observational study, because the teacher merely observed the students' progress
  2. An observational study, because there was no use of a control group
  3. An observational study, but a poorly designed one because randomization was not used
  4. An experiment, thus making cause and effect a reasonable conclusion
  5. An observational study, but the results cannot be generalized to other classes
  6. An observational study, but a well-designed one because all students were observed
  7. An experiment, but the outcome cannot definitively be attributed to the quizzes
  8. An experiment, but a poorly designed one because there was no control group
  9. An experiment, but with no reasonable conclusion possible about cause and effect
  10. An experiment, because the teacher was actively manipulating the environment
