Explanation:</u></h3>
In a statistical study, sampling methods relate to how we choose members from the population to be in the research. If a sample isn't randomly chosen, it will reasonably be biased in some way and the data may not be representational of the population.
Efficient interpretation of data is based on real procedures for generating data and sensitive analysis of the data.The efficiency depends on how strongly the sample outlines the population. The sample must contain the attributes of the population to be representative. Here sample is chosen from one local restaurant so it willnot produce efficient analysis result.
