Explain why this might represent sampling bias and give one solution to reduce the potential bias.

In politics, marketing, etc. we often want to estimate a percentage or proportion p. One calculation in statistical polling is the margin of error - the largest (reasonble) error that the poll could have. For example, a poll result of 72% with a margin of error of 4% indicates that p is most likely to be between 68% and 76% (72% minus 4% to 72% plus 4%). In a (made-up) poll, the proportion of people who like dark chocolate more than milk chocolate was 44% with a margin of error of 2.2%. Describe the conclusion about p using an absolute value inequality. The answer field below uses the symbolic entry option in Mobius. That lets you type in a vertical bar | to represent absolute values. Also, when you type in and then =, the symbolic entry option will automatically convert that to >.

Please help explaining how to answer so I can study for my test. The Farm Program for the Montana State Department of Agriculture needs to choose a sample of farms in order to collect information about land utilization. Montana has 56 counties and the 26,800 farms across the state are currently categorized by county. The program would like to select a random sample of at least 112 farms and record the total acreage and the acreage used for pasture and range for each farm in the sample. Two plans have been proposed: Plan A: The program will randomly select 10 counties from the 56 counties. All farms within the 10 selected counties will be visited by a surveyor who will calculate the total acreage and acreage used for pasture and range. Plan B: The program will randomly select 2 farms from each county. All 112 selected farms will be visited by a surveyor who will calculate the total acreage and acreage used for pasture and range. Which of the following best describes the…
