in items 3 and 4, what sampling method is used in the following examples? is the method biased or not? explain.\n3. students who are preparing for the junior class party want to determine what kinds of pizza to buy. they ask all the owners of the closest pizza restaurants what kinds of pizza they sell the most.
Answer
# Brief Explanation:
The students are asking pizza - restaurant owners instead of the actual consumers (students). Restaurant owners may have their own interests and may not accurately represent the preferences of the students who will eat the pizza at the party. This sampling method only focuses on one source (restaurant owners) and not the target population (students), so it is likely to be biased.
# Answer:
The sampling method is biased. The students are asking pizza - restaurant owners instead of the students who will be at the party, so the results may not reflect the true pizza preferences of the students preparing for the junior class party.
