Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A sample taken at one particular point in time is categorized as a cross-sectional study. Cross-sectional studies involve collecting data from a population at a specific point in time, rather than over a period of time (time-series) or measuring numerical values (discrete). The data collected in a cross-sectional study may be categorical or numerical, but the study design itself is not limited to either.
