3. Natalie Min is an undergraduate in the Haas School of Busi-
ness at Berkeley. She wishes to pursue an MBA from Berkeley
and wants to know the profile of other students who are likely
to apply to the Berkeley MBA program. In particular, she wants
to know the GPA of students with whom she might be compet-

class for the analysis. Discuss in detail whether or not Natalie's
analysis is based on a representative sample.
See data attached. SoftBus Company sells PC equipment and customized software to small companies to help them manage their day-to-day business activities. Although SoftBus spends time with all customers to understand their needs, the customers are eventually on their own to use the equipment and software intelligently. To understand its customers better, SoftBus recently sent questionnaires to a large number of prospective customers. Key personnel—those who would be using the software—were asked to fill out the questionnaire. SoftBus received 82 usable responses, as shown in the file. You can assume that these employees represent a random sample of all of SoftBus's prospective customers.
SoftBus believes it can afford to spend much less time with customers who own PCs and score at least 4 on PC Knowledge. Let's call these the "PC-savvy" customers. On the other hand, SoftBus believes it will have to spend a lot of time with customers who do not own a PC and score 2 or less on PC…
