A city government did a survey of working women, to see how they felt about juggling jobs and family responsibilities. Businesses, unions, and community service organizations helped distribute the survey questionnaire to locations where the women could pick up copies. 1,678 out of 2,800 respondents, or .599, checked the item "stress is a serious problem" on the questionnaire.

(iii) Neither of the above, and explain briefly.   Hint: Observe that this is a sample of convenience. (a) The standard error on the .599 is 0.009 (b) The standard error on the .599 is some other number (c) Neither of the above, we need to have the entire questionnaire with all the questions, in order to determine the standard error (d) Neither of the above, the formulas we've learned thus far are for draws from a box, and should not be applied mechanically to other kinds of samples
