A. a survey B. an observational study C. an event D. an experiment 2. A senator wants to find out the level of concern people in her state have about internet privacy issues. She conducted a poll by mailing surveys to 40% of registered voters whose names were randomly sampled. Survey participants were given the option of completing the survey online or returning the survey by mail. Over 20% of those who were mailed a survey completed it online or returned it by mail. The poll showed that 42% of respondents were “very concerned” about internet privacy. Which statement best explains why the sample is biased? A. The sample is biased because it only includes registered voters. B. The sample is biased because it is too small to represent the state population. C. The sample is biased because there were two methods to complete and return the poll. D. The sample is biased because they did not survey all registered voters, only those randomly chosen. 3. In a survey, a random selection of 2757 adults was asked whether they identified more strongly with political Party A, Party B, or Party C. The table shows the results of the survey broken down by gender. Based on the results from the survey, which conclusion is valid? A. Approximately 45% of adults identify most strongly with Party A. B. Approximately 42% of the males identify themselves with Party B. C. Approximately 50% of the males identify most strongly with Party C. D. Approximately 61% of the females identify most strongly with Party A. Powered by Illuminate Education. Advanced Algebra_FinalExam_Fall 2024 Assessment ID:2425001140 4.
