which sample fairly represents the population? select two options.\n□ using a yearbook to determine the most popular names for girls in the united states\n□ asking the people exiting a vitamin store how often they exercise to determine the amount of time the average american exercises\n□ calling every registered member of the national republican party to determine the voter turnout for a citys mayoral race\n□ sending a mandatory and confidential e - mail survey to every tenth employee of a company to determine overall job satisfaction\n□ taking a poll in the main hallway between classes to determine the number of students who would be interested in a school trip to new york city
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
1. Using a year - book to determine popular girl names in the US is a fair sample as year - books likely cover a wide range of regions and demographics related to naming trends.
2. Taking a poll in the main hallway between classes to determine student interest in a school trip is a relatively fair sample as it includes students who are present in a central area of the school during a common time.
3. Asking people exiting a vitamin store about exercise is a biased sample as they are more likely to be health - conscious.
4. Calling only Republican Party members to determine city mayoral race voter turnout is a biased sample as it only represents one political party.
5. Sending a survey to every tenth employee may not be a fair sample if there is some pattern in employee numbering related to job satisfaction (e.g., by department).
