Hospital management wants to determine the number of employees who ride the free shuttle bus to work. Which of the following would be the best method to obtain a random sample of the employees to be surveyed? (1 point)

Question

selecting five employees from each department who volunteer to participate

selecting all the hospital's nurses

selecting every tenth employee that enters the building

selecting all employees who do not own a car

Answer 1

The best method to obtain a random sample of the employees to be surveyed from the options provided would be:

Selecting every tenth employee that enters the building.

This method ensures that every employee has a chance to be included in the sample, helping to avoid bias and giving a better representation of the entire employee population. The other options either include self-selection (which can lead to bias), focus on a specific group (like nurses or car owners), or only include volunteers, which may not represent the views of all employees.
