What is an observational study?

When researchers monitor the effect of a risk factor, diagnostic test, therapy, or other intervention without attempting to influence who is or is not exposed to it in observational studies.

For example: Consider someone standing on a popular street in a New York neighbourhood asking passers-by how many dogs they have, then analyzing the data to see if more pet food businesses are needed in the area.

As we know that in an observational study, the sample whose test/survey is been taken is completely random.
