Parent opinion, part 2 Lets revisit the school system described in Exercise 17. Four new sampling strategies have been proposed to help the PTA determine whether parents favor requiring elementary students to pass a test in order to be promoted to the next grade. For each, indicate what kind of sampling strategy is involved and what (if any) biases might result. a) Run a poll on the local TV news, asking people to dial one of two phone numbers to indicate whether they favor or oppose the plan. b) Hold a PTA meeting at each of the 20 elementary schools, and tally the opinions expressed by those who attend the meetings. c) Randomly select one class at each elementary school and contact each of those parents. d) Go through the districts enrollment records, selecting every 40th parent. PTA volunteers will go to those homes to interview the people chosen.
