Answer 8

I don't agree with this part:

Now another reason its false is because not all powertools are only sold in hardware stores. Example, Walmart, KMART, probably even you can buy a hammer in Circle K.

because those stores are not hardware stores and the question states that hardware stores are the population of interest.

>> your population of interest is all power tools sold in hardware stores

Answer 9

but you still think its false right?
