Check Explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
In finding the public's view on pollution, the researchers waited outside a car dealership they had randomly selected from a list of such establishments. They stopped every 10th person who came out of the dealership and asked whether he or she thought pollution was a serious problem.
A) The population
The population is the sum total of every member of the public whose opinions on pollution, the researchers are interested in.
B) The population parameter of interest
Since the researchers stopped every member of the sample to ask them whether they thought pollution was a serious problem or not, it follows that the population parameter of interest is the proportion of the population who think that pollution is a serious problem.
C) The sampling frame
The sampling frame is defined as the source material where the sample is drawn from. And for this question, the sampling frame is the population of people leaving car dealership establishments.
D) The sample
The sample is the set of people that were asked the question of whether population was a serious problem or not. The sample includes every 10th person that came out of the chosen car dealership establishments.
E) The sampling method
Note that
- In random sampling, each population member would have an equal chance of being surveyed.
- Stratified sampling divides the population into groups called strata. A sample is taken from some or all of these strata using either random, systematic, or convenience sampling.
- In systematic sampling, a particular number, n, is counted repeatedly and each of the nth member is picked to be sampled.
Hence, this stratified sampling method uses random sampling technique to pick the strata where the samples will be obtained from and systematic sampling is now used for the picking of the members of the sample.
F) Any potential sources of bias you can detect and any problems you see in generalizing to the population of interest.
This survey only limits the members of the sample to those who visit a car dealership, and this cuts out a large percentage of the total population of humans.
Mostly men visit car dealership establishments, Hence, women, children, old people are at a disadvantage as they do not all have an equal chance of being surveyed.
Infact, only a financial class of the population visits car dealership establishments, so, it would be very wrong with all of this bias to use the results of this surveyor generalize for the whole population of people.
Hope this Helps!!!
