A video game company surveys a random sample of 225 of its best customer and finds that the average gamer spends $606 a year on games, with a standard deviation of $62. Another company is also interested in the amount game consumers spend, and surveys a random sample of 250 gamers, over all interest levels, and finds that the average gamer spends $250 a year on games, with a standard deviation of $15. Why is the second survey more believable than the first?
