Question 8 • US History

How do most organizations conduct opinion polls today?

Answer
A
Poll takers visit the homes of members of the public.
B
Citizens fill out polls in newspapers and magazines.
C
Poll takers set up booths in malls and other busy public areas.
D
A random system makes phone calls to members of the public.

Explanation

Most organizations use random sampling to contact people by phone and ask their opinions. Randomly selecting phone numbers helps reach a broader group than relying on people who choose to respond to a newspaper poll or happen to visit a public booth. Therefore, the correct choice is “A random system makes phone calls to members of the public.”
