Question
31:35 Sofia is a helper for the kindergarten class and is in charge of picking a video for their end-of-year party. To choose which type of movie they would like best, she decided to survey every other child entering a matinee for a cartoon called, Three Pretty Princesses." The total number of children surveyed was 40. What is wrong with the way she selected her sample? Check all that apply. O The sample of 40 children is too small to represent all kindergartners. The sample was taken at a specific movie, which will skew data towards that type of movie. The sample is likely to include a lot more girls than boys, since the movie title is "Three Pretty Princesses. The sample should include the adults with the children instead of only children. The sample should include the other peer helpers in her grade to include a greater age range Save and Exit Unmack this.queationExplanation / Answer
(a) The sample of 40 children is too small to represent all kindergartners.
It is a reason only if the kindergarten has a lot more than 40 children but here no data is given regarding the total popultion.so it is not true.
(b)The sample was taken at a specific movie, which will skew data towards that type of movie.
--valid reason.
(c) The sample is likely to include a lot more girls than boys, since the movie title is “Three Pretty Princesses.”
valid reason.There is bias because the movie would be based on gender. That movie is more of a girl movie so all the girls would agree and probably will not prefer.
(d) The sample should include the adults with the children instead of only children.
valid reason if including adults in the sample is possible because adults can decide in a better way that which type of movie children should watch.
(e) The sample should include the other peer helpers in her grade to include a greater age range.
not a valid reason because adding peers just to increase age range is not a good reason
