Q. Ted surveyed 99 shoppers in the supermarket's bakery section about their purchasing habits.\newlineIs this a random sample of the shoppers at the supermarket?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) yes\newline(B) no
  1. Understand random sample: Understand the concept of a random sample. A random sample means every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected.
  2. Analyze given scenario: Analyze the given scenario.\newlineTed surveyed only 99 shoppers in the bakery section, which might not represent the entire supermarket's shopper population.
  3. Determine sample randomness: Determine if the sample is random.\newlineSince the sample is limited to the bakery section, it's likely not random as it doesn't cover all sections of the supermarket.
