Populations and Sampling

Question 8 • CR02201A Probability and Statistics

Kanesha wants to find out if people in her community would support turning an unused park into a dog park. Which populations would be appropriate to sample for the survey?

Answer
A
people who live near the unused park
B
parents of small children in the community
C
children attending the local school
D
owners of local businesses

Explanation

The survey should sample people who are affected by the proposed dog park and can speak to whether they support it. People who live near the unused park are part of the community most directly impacted by the change. Parents of small children, schoolchildren, or local business owners may have opinions, but those groups alone would not represent the nearby residents as well.
