Question

The ownership of a professional athletic team wants to determine the community response to the proposal that the team build and move to a new facility in the neighboring county. What would be the most appropriate method for obtaining a sample of the affected residents in both counties? Explain briefly why you chose your answer.

a. Survey a random sample of county officials in each county.
b. Survey every fourteenth person attending a local high school football game.
c. Survey a random sample of persons within each county.
d. Survey the fans that access the team’s web page.

Explanation / Answer

The answer is c. That is the choice that will give you the best over-all representation for each county. A,B, and D limit the group too much to be considered a fair representation of what the people think in each county.
