The sample is not randomly chosen.
The sample should be larger to give more reliable information.
The sample size is too large to make inferences.
The sample size is too small to represent the population.
The sample size is too small and will show larger variation.

Hint: There are 40 voters out of 7,300. Would 40 voters give reliable information? Maybe, but what if the school needs more? :)

Do you think those are the answers?

dakid88 · Answer

zeronknight · Answer

Hmm. I'll just explain then. Do you really think 40 out of 7,300 could really represent a population If that did ever happen, ever. There would be unfair changes, there should be more voters. :)

Sorry, we aren't allowed to help on graded tests. It would be cheating, which s against the rules of OpenStudy.  It is also breaking your school's honor code. However we can help you prepare for the test. Please don't post graded test questions, you will get a suspension :/.
