No.
Because, when to do some sort of analysis (such as this one), you need to take (for example) a RANDOM SAMPLE from the POPULATION of the problem that is being analyzed. In this example (problem), Pete wants to evaluate OVERALL satisfaction of customers, so he should NOT send the surveys ONLY to the customers who have purchased the LARGEST number of items, but to the randomly selected customers, in order to obtain REPRESENTATIVE results of the OVERALL satisfaction. If he sends the surveys only to the customers who have bought the largest number of items, he will obtain VERY HIGH satisfaction of customers, as results, of course, and this will not be representative results.

No.

When trying to analyze an overall satisfaction with Quality of service. The number of population he is analyzing should not be limited to a certain factor. This would cause a narrow data information gather and would not represent the entire population. The surveys should be based randomly to avoid data bias/filters and actual results would be realistic.

Petes boat can travel 48 miles upstream in 4 hours. The return trip takes 3 hours. Find the speed of the boat in still water and
tankabanditka [31]
So... hmm bear in mind, when the boat goes upstream, it goes against the stream, so, if the boat has speed rate of say "b", and the stream has a rate of "r", then the speed going up is b - r, the boat's rate minus the streams, because the stream is subtracting speed as it goes up

going downstream is a bit different, the stream speed is "added" to boat's
so the boat is really going faster, is going b + r

notice, the distance is the same, upstream as well as downstream
thus   \bf \begin{cases}
b=\textit{rate of the boat}\\
r=\textit{rate of the river}
\end{cases}\qquad thus
\\\\\\

\begin{array}{lccclll}
&distance&rate&time(hrs)\\
&----&----&----\\
upstream&48&b-r&4\\
downstream&48&b+4&3
\end{array}
\\\\\\

\begin{cases}
48=(b-r)(4)\to 48=4b-4r\\\\
\frac{48-4b}{-4}=r\\
--------------\\
48=(b+r)(3)\\
-----------------------------\\\\
thus\\\\
48=\left[ b+\left(\boxed{\frac{48-4b}{-4}}\right) \right] (3)
\end{cases}

solve for "r", to see what the stream's rate is

what about the boat's? well, just plug the value for "r" on either equation and solve for "b"
