A large company wants to find out what team-building activity its employees prefer. Which of the following samples can give the most valid generalization?
A randomly selected sample of employees from different departments and job levels within the company.
To obtain the most valid generalization, the company should ensure that the sample used to collect data is representative of its entire employee population. The sample should include a diverse range of employees, such as different departments, positions, ages, and genders. This will help to mitigate any biases and provide a more accurate representation of the employees' preferences.
It would be helpful to provide the options for team-building activities so that we can evaluate which sample would give the most valid generalization.
