Question

a food reporter conducted a survey to determine whether people in a certain city like the new dessert created by chef domenica. the reporter asked 87 people who were waiting in line outside of chef domenicas bakery on a tuesday, and 9 people refused to respond. which of the following factors makes it least likely that a reliable conclusion can be drawn about whether people in the city like chef domenicas new dessert? choose 1 answer: a sample size b population size c where the survey was given

Explanation:

The sample is only from people waiting in line outside Chef Domenica's bakery. This group is likely already fans or interested in her food, so it's a biased sample. The location (where the survey was given) affects the representativeness of the sample. Sample size (87 - 9 = 78 respondents) is not extremely small. Population size (all people in the city) doesn't directly cause the sample to be unreliable here as the issue is sampling bias from the location.

Answer:

C. Where the survey was given
