A local news agency wanted to estimate unemployment in your local community. First the news agency randomly dialed cell phone numbers until 1000 adults in their community had been reached. In the survey, 25% of those who responded said they were not currently employed. In reality, only 7% of adults in your community were unemployed at the time the survey was fun. Which claim do you believe and why? O We can't believe either claim unless we gather information from the entire population The difference was due to the fact that the survey was not a simple random sample of the adults in the community. When contacted, adults are most likely not going to give false information to the news. The 7% because adults that are employed are going to be less likely to be available to answer the phone and respond to the survey.
