Question 10 • Algebra II

Answer
A
census
B
experiment
C
observational study
D
survey sample

Explanation

To find the number among all the company’s employees who get regular dental checkups, the company should collect information from every employee. That is a census. A survey sample would ask only some employees and estimate the total, while an experiment would change something rather than simply gather information.
