By noticing what is absent or what does not occur, one can gain insights into the underlying factors or conditions that may be influencing the observed phenomena.

    Observation is useful in all of the mentioned ways except for when large amounts of data need to be collected quickly. Observation is a method of gathering information by directly observing and recording behaviors, processes, or events. It is particularly useful when you want direct information, when trying to understand ongoing situations, when there is physical evidence to be seen, or when other data collection methods are not suitable. However, when there is a need to collect a large amount of data quickly, other methods such as surveys or experiments may be more efficient.
