Pretest

Question 2 • Mathematics III

At the beginning of a call to the cable company, a message tells customers, “After you finish talking to our customer service representative, you will be asked to take a five-question survey about the level of service you received. It would be appreciated if you could please stay on the line to answer the survey questions.” What type of sampling is the cable company using?

Answer
A
convenience sampling
B
systematic random sampling
C
cluster sampling
D
voluntary sampling

Explanation

Customers choose whether to stay on the line and answer the survey, so participation is voluntary. This is voluntary sampling: people decide for themselves whether to be included. It is not convenience sampling, which selects people who are easiest to reach rather than relying on their choice to participate.
