A marketing company takes a random sample of 700 men to get their opinion on a new style of car. The marketing company then reports the following: “Four out of five drivers surveyed prefer the new style over the old style.” Explain why this conclusion would be misleading. a. The company only surveyed men but made the claim about all drivers. b. The survey question was biased toward the new style. c. The people surveyed were not randomly selected. d. The sample size of drivers was too small.

Sagot :

According to the information given, the randome sample that was asked about their opinion was 700 men, however the results of the survey were given as "4 out of 5 drivers"

This information is misleading because the results should have been thrown for men and not for drivers since the sample does not give any information saying that all 700 men are drivers.

The correct answer is: A
