Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There are many valid reasons to survey only a sample of the area residents instead of the entire population, such as difficulty accessing everyone, cost, and time constraints. However, bias is not a reason to avoid surveying the population, as it is possible to use randomized sampling methods to ensure that the survey results are representative of the entire population despite any potential biases. Not surveying the whole population, however, may introduce sampling bias.
