Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

How much sleep do high school students get on a typical school night? An interested student designed a survey to find out. To make data collection easier, the student surveyed the first 100

students to arrive at school on a particular morning. These students reported an average of 7.2 hours of sleep on the previous night.

(a) What type of sample did the student obtain?

(b) Explain why this sampling method is biased. Is 7.2 hours probably higher or lower than the true average amount of sleep last night for all students at the school? Why?

Solution:

a) A voluntary response sample is a sample made up of volunteers. It samples more people who have strong opinions and sample people who have less opinion on the survey. It is biased.

Convenience sample is a type of sampling where the group of people are conveniently selected from a population. It is biased.

Since the first 30 students to arrive at school on a particular morning was used, this is convenience sampling since only the first 30 was conveniently selected.

b) This sampling method is biased because the first 30 students are those who would have woken up earlier while those who woke up late would not be sampled.

This means that the 7.2 hours is lower than the true average amount of sleep last night for all students at the school
