The members of a city council wanted to assess the opinions of all city residents about converting an open field into a dog park. The council surveyed a sample of 500 city residents who own dogs. The survey showed that the majority of those sampled were in favor of the dog park. Which of the following is true about the city council's survey?

  1. It shows that the majority of city residents are in favor of the dog park.
  2. The survey sample should have included more residents who are dog owners.
  3. The survey sample should have consisted entirely of residents who do not own dogs.
  4. The survey sample is biased because it is not representative of all city residents.

hintHint:

Analyze the given question

The correct answer is: The survey sample is biased because it is not representative of all city residents.


    • .Explanation:
    • We have given the council survey a sample of 500 city residents who own dogs. And the survey showed that the majority of those sampled were in favor of the dog park.
    Now here we can see that the survey consists of only dog owners which shows that the survey sample is biased because it is not representative of all city residents

    The table above shows a summary of 1,200 responses to a survey question. Based on the table, how many of those surveyed get most of their medical information from either a doctor or the Internet?

    In sets of numbers called fractions, the top number (numerator) represents a portion related to the entire unit, and (the denominator) by the bottom number.
    A ratio is similar to a fraction, where two numbers are compared. Although ratios can be written in fractional form, they are typically expressed as numbers separated by the colon symbol.
    The ratio conversion into a fraction in mathematics is known as the ratio to a fraction. The ratio conveys the relative size of two or more values. The fraction similarly identifies the components of the whole. A: B or a/B are two ways to represent the ratio.
