Critical Thinking: What do the do not call registry survey tell us?
Surveys have become an important component of American life. They directly affect us in so many ways, including public, policy, the television shows we watch, the products we buy, and the political leaders we elect. Because surveys are now such an integral part of our lives, it is important that every citizen has the ability to interpret survey results. Surveys are the focus of this project. A recent Harris survey of 1961 adults showed that 76% have registered for the do not call registry, so that telemarketers do not phone them.
6. In reference to another survey, the president of a company wrote to the Associated Press about a nationwide survey of 1223 subjects. Here is what he wrote:
When you or anyone else attempts to tell me and my associates that 1223 persons account for our opinions and tastes here in America, I get mad as hell! How dare you! When you or anyone else tells me that 1223 people represent America, it is astounding and unfair and should be outlawed.
The writer of that letter then proceeds to claim that because the sample size of 1223 people represents 120 million people, his single letter represents 98,000(120 million divided by 1223)who share the same views. Do you agree or disagree with this claim? Write a response that either supports or refutes this claim.
