Answer:

find a group to represent the universe

Step-by-step explanation:

A straw poll tries to measure public opinion by asking the same question to a large number of people. Besides, a random sample is a group containing certain number of people in which each member of the universe has an equal chance of being included. Thus, pollers must determine the size and characteristics of the group that a poll seeks to measure.
