Two methods are proposed to measure the effectiveness of a brand of sunscreen,
Which statement is a correct interpretation of these
methods?

weekend. Ask each adult which brand of sunscreen

exposure.
Method B: Volunteers are randomly assigned to
one of two brands of sunscreen. Each volunteer is
asked to report back at the end of the day, and their
arms are assessed for sun exposure.
O Both methods are experiments because sun
exposure is assessed in both methods.

observational study
