Question

You are conducting a survey on the best beaches in the world. Which group would probably give the most reliable data? responses from tourists who wish to visit these beaches responses from government officials of the countries where the beaches are located responses from tourists who have visited the beaches responses from your friends and family

Answer 1

We can analyze each of the statements. Responses of tourist who wish to visit these beaches: this is a biased sample, because they already want to go there so they have a positive opinion which may o may not be a direct perception. Responses from government officials of the countries where the beaches are located: not reliable because they have an interest to promote tourism toward their countries. Responses from tourists who have visited the beaches: this seems an appropiate group because they are the persons who have a real experience as tourist of those beaches and shoulb be more objective that the others. Responses from you friendes and family: hard to believe that they know most of the best beaches of the world to give a response bases on facts. Then, the answer is the option Responses from tourists who have visited the beaches.
