Question

A national food company surveyed 2400 people throughout the United States to determine whether or not people in the United States enjoy a certain type of hot dog. Of those surveyed, 52% of the people said that they like the food. Another company surveyed 1100 people throughout the southern part of the United States to determine whether or not people in the United States enjoy the same type of hot dog. Of those surveyed, 60% of the people said that they like the food. Select two statements that must be correct about the surveys. Both sample sizes are adequate because 1100 and 2400 people were surveyed. Both sample sizes are not adequate because less than one percent of the entire population is being surveyed. Both of the results are valid because the margin of error accounts for the differences in the results. One of the results is not valid because it is not representative of the population being studied. @ Both of the results are not valid because the numbers are not the same.
