Question 2 • Math Models A

For which survey is a sample not necessary?

Answer
A
What percentage of Colorado residents support planting more trees in the community?
B
Which electronic gadget will be the most popular among middle school students this year?
C
Do your classmates prefer warm or cool places to travel for vacation?
D
How many car accidents involve air bag malfunctions?

Explanation

A sample is not necessary when you can ask the entire group you are interested in. For choice C, the group is your classmates, whom you can survey directly. Colorado residents, middle school students generally, and all car accidents are much larger groups, so surveying a sample would be practical.
