Populations and Sampling

Question 7 • CR02201A Probability and Statistics

Which surveys would a sample be appropriate for? Mark all that apply.

Answer
A
Helen wants to know the favorite sport of adults in her town.
B
Caleb wants to know the type of music his current teachers like.
C
Jaclyn wants to know the average weight of her sisters’ backpacks.
D
Kevin wants to know the most common way students get to school.
E
Roberto wants to know the average height of the people sitting at his table.

Explanation

A sample is useful when the group you want information about is large, because surveying every person may be impractical. Helen’s town adults and Kevin’s students are large groups, so a sample could represent them. The teachers, sisters, and people at one table are smaller groups that could more easily be surveyed in full.
