Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sample only consists of infants from a very expensive daycare center in a wealthy neighborhood in Vancouver. This does not represent the population as a whole, which includes infants from different socioeconomic backgrounds and regions of Canada. Therefore, the sample may not be representative of the population that the researcher is interested in studying.
