Question 3

A simple random sample of 1,110 adult Americans is selected, and each person is asked the following question:

In light of the huge national deficit, should the government at this time spend additional money to establish a national system of health insurance?

Only 39% of those responding answered yes. The results of this survey:

A are reasonably accurate because it used a large simple random sample.

B probably overstate the percentage of people who favor a system of national health insurance because of the questions wording.

C probably understate the percentage of people who favor a system of national health insurance because of the questions wording.

D is inaccurate because of voluntary response.

E is inaccurate because of convenience sampling.
