Question

A large company wants to find the favorite animal of their employees…would surveying every 5th woman who uses the copier be a random, representative sample? explain your answer.
Can you please do it like a 7th grader?

Answer 1

No, surveying every 5th woman who uses the copier would not be a random, representative sample. This sampling method would be biased towards women who use the copier more frequently, and may not accurately reflect the preferences of all employees in the company. It would be better to survey a random selection of employees from different departments and positions to get a more representative sample of the entire company.
