    1. Apopulation
    2. Bsample
  6. 6Observational Study vs. Experiment

    Observational Study: "What is" - look don't touch, no [blank_start]influence[blank_end]

    2. BFalse
  9. 9Convenience sampling: selecting individuals who are [blank_start]easiest[blank_end] to reach
    Voluntary sampling: Individuals [blank_start]choose[blank_end] to be in the sample
    1. Aeasiest
    2. Bchoose
