Question 39 • TX-College Prep Math B

Which statement describes a cause of skewed data?

Answer
A
a sample with not enough observations from the population being measured
B
a random collection of data from the population being measured
C
an inclusive sample that includes all subsets of a population being measured
D
a sample that excludes subjects that are not part of the population being measured

Explanation

A sample with too few observations may not represent the population well, so its results can be skewed. A random sample is generally less likely to be biased, and excluding people who are not part of the population being studied is appropriate.
