You are attempting to help your best friend stop smoking. In order to tell if your intervention works, you decide that you'll need some baseline data on the number of cigarettes that he smokes per day. You have some of the same classes, so you decide to record the number of cigarettes he smokes from 8:00am to 11:00am on Mondays and Wednesdays. In this example, you are using:
A) incomplete observation
B) indirect measurement
C) complete observation
D) automatic observation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Incomplete observation is correct because you are only recording the number of cigarettes smoked during a specific time frame (8:00am to 11:00am) on specific days (Mondays and Wednesdays), not the total number of cigarettes smoked throughout the entire day or week.
