a newspaper publisher wants to check its daily output of about 300,000 newspapers to be sure each includes a comics section. explain how the publisher could do this.

Answer

Brief Explanations:

Since it's not practical to check all 300,000 newspapers, the publisher can use sampling. Randomly select a representative sample of newspapers (e.g., 300 - 500 depending on statistical guidelines) from different production batches throughout the day. Check these sampled newspapers for the presence of the comics section. Based on the results of the sample, make an inference about the entire daily output.

Answer:

Randomly sample a subset of newspapers from different production - time periods throughout the day to check for the comics section and use the sample results to infer about the whole daily output.
