Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is an example of a cross-sectional study as it is a one-time survey of a specific group of people (fans attending one of the Final Four games) to assess their preferences. It is not a formal study (which would have more detailed methodology and analysis), longitudinal study (which would follow the same group of people over a period of time), monitoring (which would involve ongoing observation), or ex post facto (which would investigate causes and effects after an event has occurred).
