Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Marge's study is a correlational method of research since she is examining the relationship between two variables (weight level and level of physical activity) to see if there is a statistically significant relationship between them. A survey would involve collecting data through questionnaires or interviews, a psychometric method would involve the development and evaluation of psychological tests, and an experimental method would involve manipulating one variable to see its effect on another variable.
