The idea
Identify the variable measured: output, population, hours or wages.
Step by step
- Identify the variable measured: output, population, hours or wages.
- Compare evidence before drawing a conclusion about change.
- Higher total production does not by itself show that every worker’s life improved.
Example

Answer
increased output per hour
Measured hourly output rises from 10 to 30 units.
