Sample a is more likely to be random because it includes a diverse group of shoppers from the entire store, ensuring each shopper has an equal chance of being selected.

Solución

  1. The goal is to determine the favorite hobbies of all shoppers.
  2. In sample a, we ask shoppers that walk in the store. This group is likely to include a diverse range of shoppers.
  3. In sample b, we ask shoppers that are in the sports section. These shoppers might be biased toward sports-related interests and may not represent the whole population of the store.
  4. For a sample to be random, every individual in the population (in this case, all the store’s shoppers) should have an equal chance of being selected. Sample a better meets this criterion.
The correct answer is:
A. Sample a is more likely to be random because the chosen sampling location is random as well as the people being sampled.

A. Sample a is more likely to be random because the chosen sampling location is random as well as the people being sampled.
When you ask shoppers that walk in the store, you are tapping into a diverse range of customers with varying interests, ensuring that the results reflect the general shopper population. In contrast, asking only shoppers in the sports section might skew the data towards those with a particular interest, thus limiting the randomness of your sample.
Getting a well-rounded snapshot of your shopper’s interests also helps in crafting promotions, stocking the right products, and even planning events. This approach not only enhances customer experience but also improves inventory management and sales strategies. So, next time you’re curious about what people like, think outside the section!
