Question
The Denver Police Department wants to know if Hispanic residents of Denver believe that the police use racial profiling when making traffic stops. A sociologist prepares several questions about the police. The police department chooses a Simple Random Sample (SRS) of 200 mailing addresses in predominantly Hispanic neighborhoods. A uniformed Hispanic police officer is sent to each address to ask the questions of an adult living there.
Identify the appropriate sample. Is the answer all all people from 200 addresses or 1 adult from each hispanic household among the 200 addresses
Explanation / Answer
