Concept explainers
Explain the sampling representation given regarding favourite meal of peoples in an entire town.
Answer to Problem 28SGR
Sampling representation of favourite meal of peoples in an entire town is not valid. Thus we cannot say that steak is the favourite meal of 13000 residents in an entire town.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
45 out of 60 people’s favourite meal wae steak.
Calculations:
Here, we have to state whether sampling representation regarding favourite meal is valid for 13000 residents of the town.
It is given that 45 out of 60 peoples favourite meal was steak. This is the type of biased sample.
It is the convenience sample that speaks only about diners held at steakhouse. But we cannot say that this criterion will be adopted to consider steak as a favourite meal of 13000 residents.
Conclusion:
Therefore, we are able to state type of sample whether biased or unbiased.
