A large company wants to find the favorite animal of their employees…would surveying every 5th women who uses the copier, be a random, representative sample?
No, surveying every 5th woman who uses the copier would not be a random or representative sample of the entire company's employees. This method would only capture the opinions and preferences of a specific subset of employees (women who use the copier), potentially leading to biased or skewed results. It would be more appropriate to use a truly random sampling method that includes a diverse and representative sample of all employees in order to accurately determine the favorite animal of the company's employees.
Make it shorter and make it look like a 7th grader wrote it.
No, asking every 5th woman who uses the copier wouldn't give a fair idea of everyone's favorite animal. It's better to randomly survey a mix of all employees to get a true answer.
