Question: A gas station attendant would like to estimate p, the proportion of all households that own more than two vehicles. To obtain an estimate, the attendant decides to ask the next 200 gasoline customers how many vehicles their households own. To obtain an estimate of p, the attendant counts the number of customers who say there are more than two vehicles in their households and then divides this number by 200. How would you critique this estimation procedure? Is there anything wrong with this procedure that would result in sampling and/or nonsampling errors? If so, can you suggest a procedure that would reduce this error?
