Question 13 • Grade 7 Mathematics

A nutritionist wants to know how the taste of artificial sweeteners impacts food choices of diabetic patients. From which group would it be best to take a sample?

Answer
A
patients who do not eat any artificial sweeteners
B
both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients
C
patients who eat mostly artificially sweetened foods
D
all patients

Explanation

The sample should represent the diabetic patients whose food choices the nutritionist wants to understand. Including both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients is broader and less biased than selecting only people who avoid or mostly eat artificially sweetened foods. “All patients” could include people without diabetes, who are outside the group being studied.
