In: Statistics and Probability
You are interested in gathering data from State Senators in Nebraska to find out their opinions on major social and political issues. You decide to go to the capitol building on a day the senators will be in session (gathering to do business) and stand outside the main doors to the legislative chamber (the room where the senators gather). You ask every 5th senator that enters whether they would be willing to fill out your survey and be part of your sample.
A. Is this a probability sampling method or a non-probability sampling method? Justify your answer.
B. Would the data you collect using this sampling method be representative of the population of state senators? Justify your answer.
