The manager of a local radio station wants to find out what type of music people in

the area like the most. She surveys every 10th person leaving a country music
concert held near the radio station.
Is this sample likely to be representative of the population? Explain.

Answer:

No, this sample is not likely to be representative of the population. The sample only includes people who attended a country music concert, which means it does not include people who prefer other genres of music. Therefore, the survey results would likely be biased towards country music, and not necessarily reflective of the general population's music preferences.
