Answer 2

What are you thinking?

Answer 3

I'm thinking its true because each can provide a sample

Answer 4

but at the same time I'm not positive because it says either sample is equally good

Answer 5

>> the population of interest is all day care centers in the United States,

so to randomly select centers in New York state will reflect only to centers in New York, not the entire U.S.

Answer 6

This is what should be done: randomly selected group of day care centers throughout the United States.

Answer 7

I'm going with False.

Answer 8

so its false because New York doesn't represent the entire US population?

Answer 9

Corrrect.
