Question 11 • *Integrated Math II Full

Sofia is a helper for the kindergarten class and is in charge of picking a video for their end-of-year party. To choose which type of movie they would like best, she decided to survey every other child entering a matinee for a cartoon called, “Three Pretty Princesses.” The total number of children surveyed was 40. What is wrong with the way she selected her sample? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
The sample of 40 children is too small to represent all kindergartners.
B
The sample was taken at a specific movie, which will skew data towards that type of movie.
C
The sample is likely to include a lot more girls than boys, since the movie title is “Three Pretty Princesses.”
D
The sample should include the adults with the children instead of only children.
E
The sample should include the other peer helpers in her grade to include a greater age range.
