Answer 1

The group that was sampled for the survey was correct because it was the correct representation of factors which can influence business in the coming season.

The data was not obtained in an effective way because for the particular survey the factors that needed to be examined were not questioned in this particular survey directly.

A data sample of only 40 retail businesses cannot be considered as adequate for representing a population of 300 thousand people.

The sample selected for the survey was not representatively structured because the sample was inquired about the factors which may or may not influence the purpose of the study.

Hope this helps; please like for efforts.
