Question 435018: The results of an online survey of 230 people showed that 92% of the population felt very comfortable using technology. Explain why this statistic is misleading. Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The 92% is just a statistic (coming from a sample of 230), used to estimate a (population) parameter. Sampling methodology and margin of error (or level of significance, if tests were conducted) must also be specified for every result.
