A LARGE COMPANY WANTS TO FIND THE FAVORITE ANIMAL OF THEIR EMPLOYESS WOULD SURVEYING EVERY 5TH WOMEN WHO USES THE COPIER BE A RANDOM REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE
1 answer
Surveying every 5th woman who uses the copier may not be a random representative sample because it may introduce bias. For example, women who use the copier more frequently may be more likely to be surveyed, while those who rarely use the copier may be excluded from the sample. To obtain a random representative sample of all employees, it would be better to use a different sampling method, such as selecting employees randomly from a list of all staff members or using a random number generator to select participants.
