Question
Indicate whether the following study is an observational study or a controlled experiment.
 
A researcher is interested in the effect of music on memory. She randomly divides a group of students into three​ groups: those who will listen to quiet​ music, those who will listen to loud​ music, and those who will not listen to music. After the appropriate music is played​ (or not​ played), she gives all the students a memory test.

Select the correct answer below.
 
 
A.
This is a controlled experiment. She assigns students to the control and treatment groups at random in order to control for all relevant factors aside from the effect of music on​ memory, which is essential to conducting a controlled experiment.
 
B.
This is an observational study. The number of treatment groups is not sufficiently large to control for all relevant factors aside from the effect of music on​ memory; a large number of treatment groups is essential to conducting a controlled experiment.
 
C.
This is a controlled experiment. She controls for other factors prior to assigning students to the control group and two treatment groups. This is essential to conducting a controlled experiment.
 
D.
This is an observational study. The researcher observes only the results of the memory test. Without observing the​ subjects' performance on memory tests prior to assignment to different​ groups, the study is not sufficiently active to make this a controlled experiment.
