Question

a company wants to learn about the number of its employees who visit the dentist for regular checkups. which type of study will best help the company discover this information?
○ census
○ survey sample
○ observational study
○ experiment

Explanation:

• A census involves collecting data from every member of a population. Since the company wants to know about all its employees (the entire population in this context) who visit the dentist, a census would gather information from each employee, making it the best choice.
• A survey sample only collects data from a subset, so it might not give the full picture of all employees.
• An observational study is about observing without interfering, which isn't suitable here as we need direct information from employees.
• An experiment involves manipulating variables, which is not relevant for simply finding out how many employees visit the dentist.

Answer:

A. census
