Question 17 • Math 7 B (M12 25/26 S2)

A researcher wants to develop a product for families who have small children. He needs to determine if there is a nationwide interest in a toy that will help children describe their emotions. He asks only a sample of the population to complete his survey. What should be true of the sample so that the results of the survey can be used to predict the results of surveying the population?

Answer
A
The size of the sample should be the same size as the population.
B
The families included in the sample should represent the families in the population.
C
The families included in the sample cannot be included in the population.
D
The size of the sample should be larger than the size of the population.

Explanation

For a survey sample to help predict what the whole population thinks, it needs to be representative of that population. In this case, the families surveyed should reflect the families nationwide, including those with small children. A sample does not need to be as large as the population; making it representative is the key.
