Question

An amusement park's owners are considering extending the weeks of the year that it is opened. The owners would like to survey 100 randomly selected families to see whether an extended season would be of interest to those that may visit the amusement park.

What is the best way to randomly choose these 100 families?

  • Allow a random number generator to come up with 100 families within a 50 radius of the amusement park.
  • Have the owners of the amusement park ask the first 100 people they see.
  • Ask the first 100 families that enter the amusement park on a busy weekend day.
  • Choose a neighborhood near the amusement park and ask 100 families in this neighborhood.
