Explanation / Answer

Answer to the question is as follows:

a.

Convenience sampling is where you include people who are easy to reach. For example

So, when we sample first 250, we do it because it is convinient. It rules the random sampling, or systematic types of sampling or a carefully sampled census.

Secondly, sampling from all people who go to amusement park may mean you sample people who actually may not be interested in this new roller coaster, thereby biasing your results.

A is right.

b. No. because it is conviniently sampled. If you do a census or a simple random sample or systematic sampling , then there is a greater chance of getting a representative sample

c. The right set of people to sample will be the group who face this problem of being in queue for 3 hours for this new roller coaster. That is the 'all the patrons willing to wait in line for the roller coaster'

Answer is C
