Question

A researcher asks 4 people if they like to watch thriller movies, and 3 people say they do. Explain why the following statement is misleading: "75% of people like to watch thriller movies."
The sample size is too small.
The one person who does not watch thriller movies doesn't count.
The sample size is too large.
The statement is not misleading.

Answer 1

This sample size it too small.  The larger the sample size, the more likely the data will be true to what the question is asking.  A larger sample size brings more precision to the question that is being asked.
