Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
Say whether each made-up study is a sample survey, an observational study or an experiment.
A survey asks, an observational study watches, and an experiment imposes a treatment. The explanatory variable is the possible cause and the response variable is the outcome. In an observational study, gap seen = real effect + the part due to who chose.
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, compare your working with the solution.
Watch out. A study that lasts many years is not an experiment unless someone imposes a treatment.
