Determine whether the following statement makes sense
Determine whether the following statement makes sense (or is clearly
true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false).
A study on the effect of gender on movie attendance was biased because the sample consisted of 800 males and 200 females.
Choose the correct answer and explanation from the choices below.
A.
The statement does not make sense because it’s not clear that the population of movie goers isn’t similarly disproportionate.
B.
The statement does not make sense because the bias is due to the small sample size and not the proportion of males and females sampled.
C.
The statement does make sense because the movie going population does not have anywhere near the disproportionate number of men to women as is present in the sample.
D.
The statement does make sense because a sample of movie goers will always be more representative than a sample that includes the general male and female population.
