Question

The provincial park campground would like to estimate the daily average number of visitors per site at its campground over the season. A team of park five employees randomly selected one date during the season (they just happened to select the Saturday of a long weekend), and each employee walked the park at different times that day, counting up the number of people at each site. Will this sample provide the information the park is interested in? O A. No, because the sites that day will likely not provide a good representation of the season. O B. Yes, because five people took measurements on the sites that day. O C. No, because random sampling was not used to obtain the sample of sites. O D. Yes, because all sites in the park were monitored that day.

Answer 1

Here the park is interested in the daily average number of visitor per site but they have only measured the number of people per site for a saturday of a long weekend which is not a correct representation of the season because on weekends more people tend to visit the park so we will not get an unbiased representation with the saturday of a long weekend

Answer: A. No, because the sites that day will likely not provide a good representation of the season.
