Suppose that you select Major League Baseball (MLB) games played during the second week in April as a sample of all MLB games played in the upcoming season.
a. Would this be a simple random sample? Explain briefly.

b. Following up on part (a), consider two variables that you could record about each game: attendance and number of runs scored. With which of these two variables is the sample (of games played during the second week in April) more likely to be representative of the population? Explain briefly.
