Question

Sravya is a journalist for a television newscast that serves a certain region. She conducts an online survey for the viewers of the newscast asking whether they had at least $1,000 in savings. Among the 1,345 who took the survey, only 42%

had at least $1,000 in savings. Explain whether the results of the survey can be extended to the residents of the region.(1 point)

A) The results of the survey cannot be extended because Sravya only uses a survey to find the results.

B) The results of the survey can be extended because the people who took the survey represent the residents of the region.

C) The results of the survey can be extended because Sravya's television newscast serves the region.

D) The results of the survey cannot be extended because the people who took the survey are not a random sample of the residents of the region.

Answer 1

D) The results of the survey cannot be extended because the people who took the survey are not a random sample of the residents of the region.

Answer 2

is that correct?

Answer 3

Yes, that is correct. The results of a survey can only be generalized to a larger population if the survey sample is a random and representative sample of that population. In this case, the respondents of the survey are not necessarily a random sample of the residents of the region, so the results cannot be extended to all residents of the region.
