Question

judith surveyed the 32 book critics who read and reviewed a new novel. is this a random sample of the readers of the new novel? yes no

Explanation:

A random sample should be representative of the entire population (all readers of the novel) and selected randomly. Here, the sample consists only of book critics who read and reviewed the novel, not a random selection from all readers (which would include non - critics, different types of readers etc.). So it's not a random sample.

Answer:

no
