Question
valeriyawants to determine the likely voting outcome for the new town council election. which sample is likely to yield the most biased results?
o every tenth person working for the largest corporation in town
ten people chosen at random from each page of the towns phone list
every tenth person walking down main street in town on a variety of days and times of the day
ten eligible voters chosen at random from each of the different neighborhoods in town
A biased sample is one that does not represent the entire population well. Sampling only people from the largest corporation may not represent all voters in the town. The other options (random from phone list, random from Main Street on various days/times, random from different neighborhoods) are more likely to be representative as they cover a broader cross - section of the population.
