An apartment manager would like to survey a sample of residents to determine whether there may be interest in building a pool.

What is the best way that the apartment manager could select the sample?

randomly select residents of the apartment building who have children

randomly select people from all residents of the apartment building

randomly select people who live in the neighborhood around the apartment building

randomly select residents who previously lived in an apartment complex that had a pool

Answer:

B) randomly select people from all residents of the apartment building

Explanation:

First let's see what a sample is.

Sample is nothing but taking a few people for a survey from the entire population. When want to take the survey we cannot ask the opinion of the entire population. We take a few people from the group, ask their opinion and draw for a conclusion for the entire group.

In this case, to building a pool in the apartment, we take a few from the apartment and ask their opinion.

Therefore, answer is B) randomly select people from all residents of the apartment building

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.
