Question

Are such top 10 lists valuable for gaining insight into the larger​ population?

A.

​No, because such top 10 lists represent an extreme subset of the population rather than the larger population

B.

​Yes, because the​ mean, median, and midrange are relatively reliable even with small samples

C.

​Yes, because such top 10 lists give partial information about the population

D.

​No, because the​ mean, median, and midrange are based on a small sample

Answer 1

Top 10 list does not a true representative of the population. To get a true representative of population we need a random sample from the population.

So, option (D) is true.

i.e , No, because the​ mean, median, and midrange are based on a small sample
