Question

Joe wants to find the most common source of news among U.S. adults. He wants his sample to have 10,000 adults (half male and half female individuals) to make a valid generalization. How many people from each of the 50 states should he choose randomly to avoid bias in his study?(1 point)

adults

Answer 1

Since Joe wants to have a sample of 10,000 adults, and half of them should be male and half should be female, he would need 5,000 males and 5,000 females.

To avoid bias in his study, Joe should select individuals randomly from each of the 50 states. Therefore, the number of people Joe should choose randomly from each state would be 5,000 adults divided by 50 states, which is equal to 100 adults per state.
