Question

michael surveyed 12 politicians from his state about their views on certain issues. is this sample of citizens of the state likely to be representative? yes no submit work it out

Explanation:

A representative sample should reflect the diversity of the entire population (citizens of the state). Politicians are a specific group with different characteristics (e.g., professional role, political affiliation) than the general citizenry. Surveying only politicians doesn't capture the views of other citizens (like non - political workers, students, retirees, etc.). So this sample is not representative.

Answer:

no
