Josh polled ten of his friends when conducting an experiment on the average amount Californians spend on car insurance. Will the results of his experiment be representative of all Californians?
The results of Josh's experiment will not be representative of all Californians. The experiment only includes ten of his friends, which is a very small sample size compared to the population of California. In order for the results to be representative, the sample needs to be larger and more diverse, ideally including individuals from various regions, age groups, income levels, and other demographic factors.
