An airline company advertises that 100% of their flights are on time after checking 5 randomly selected flights. What is the problem with this study?

you can not reject the claim, nor confirm it with such a small sample size. Because we do not know the about the other flights.

Answer:

An airline company advertises that 100% of their flights are on time after checking 5 randomly selected flights.

The options to choose from are:

missing data

loaded question

reported results

small sample

The answer is option D.

The sample size is too small. It cannot be able to guarantee all flights will be on time every time.
