Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dr. Wiseman should draw a representative sample from among college juniors to ensure that the data collected is accurate and can be generalized to the larger population of college juniors in the United States. Option A is not feasible as it is not practical to distribute surveys to every college junior in the country. Option B is incorrect as sample size is important, but it is not the most critical factor in survey research. Option C is not necessary and may even lead to response bias as students may not feel comfortable providing truthful answers if their names are attached to the survey.
