The government of a large city needs to determine whether the city's residents will support the building of a new Middle School. The government decides to conduct a survey of a sample of the city's residents. Choose below which one of the following procedures would be the most appropriate for obtaining a sample of the city's residents
A. Survey a random sample of adults who currently have children in public schools
B. Survey every tenth person to use the public restroom
C. Survey the last 100 residents listed in the telephone directory.
D. Survey a random sample of persons within each geographical region of the city.
The Excite Poll is an online poll at poll.excite.com. You click on an answer to become part of the sample. One poll question was "Do you prefer watching first-run movies at a movie theater or waiting until they are available on home video or pay-per-view?" A total of 8896 people responded, with 1118 saying they preferred theaters. From this survey, you should conclude that:
a.
a larger sample is necessary.
b.
Americans prefer watching movies at home.
c.
movie theaters should lower their prices.
d.
the poll uses voluntary response, so the results tell us little about the population of all adults.
