Answer 1

Josh used systematic sampling by selecting every third female customer to survey on their favorite milkshake flavor at MooMoo Milkshakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the situation described, Josh surveyed every third female customer to determine their favorite milkshake flavor at MooMoo Milkshakes. This type of sampling is known as systematic sampling, which is used when you select members of a population at a regular interval, such as every third person. It is important to note that systematic sampling can sometimes introduce a bias if there is a pattern in the population that coincides with the sampling interval, but it is still considered a more structured approach than convenience sampling and can be easier to implement than simple random sampling.

Answer 2

Answer: random sampling please give me hearts and stars because it is the right answer!!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

Random sampling is where each member of the sample is randomly selected from the population. Since Josh chose every third female customer, he randomly chose the sample (even though his sample was biased).
