Question

You want to conduct a survey to find out what sport the students at your school prefer to play. a) You interview 20 boys playing football at lunch. Is this a random sample? Explain. b) The survey question you ask is, “What is your favorite sport to play?” Is the question fair or biased? Explain.

Answer 1

It's not random because you have already chosen a group of boys who are already predisposed to liking to play football. Since they are already playing footaball it is a logical assumption that they like football.

Answer 3

For this to be random, you would have had to select 20 boys ahead of time before they went out to play.
