A sports magazine conducted a survey to find out the size of the viewership for three different sports in a state. The survey wa
s conducted in a basketball arena in the state. The magazine then published a circle graph on the viewership of basketball, baseball, and soccer in the state. On the basis of this report, it was declared that basketball was the most viewed sport in the state. Is the report valid?
A.
Yes, because basketball is the most viewed sport in other states as well.
B.
Yes, because the data in the report was calculated accurately.
C.
No, because the survey was conducted in a basketball arena, and the people may have been biased in favor of basketball.
D.
No, because the mode of displaying the data is not appropriate.
Your answer would be C. No, because the survey was conducted in a basketball arena, and the people may have been biased in favor of basketball.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because they wanted to know which sport was viewed most so they would have needed to conduct a survey in like a public area outside of the areas of all the sports. By them doing a survey only in a basketball arena then they obviously were going to get a biased opinion of watching basketball, same as if a survey was done on a soccer or baseball field; in each area the people in that area would be biased toward the sport that is performed in that specific area. Hope this helped :)
