Sampling Methods

Question 1 • CR02201A Probability and Statistics

Chelsea wants to determine the number of people in her school who read news reports on the Internet daily. She asks five people in her language arts class. Which improvements could Chelsea make to her sample to increase the validity of the results? Select three options.

Answer
A
increase the sample size
B
choose students from different grade levels
C
choose every fourth student in all language arts classes
D
decrease the sample size
E
choose students whose answer to the survey question is predetermined

Explanation

A larger sample is more likely to represent the whole school than asking only five people. Including students from different grade levels helps capture differences among ages. Choosing every fourth student across all language arts classes also spreads the sample across more students instead of relying on one class; a predetermined answer would bias the results.
