A statistics professor wanted to find out the average GPA (grade point average) for all students at her university. She used all students enrolled in her statistics class as a sample and collected information on their GPAs to find the average GPA. a. Is this sample a random or a nonrandom sample? Explain. b. What kind of sample is it? In other words, is it a simple random sample, a systematic sample, a stratified sample, a cluster sample, a convenience sample, a judgment sample, or a quota sample? Explain. c. What kind of systematic error, if any, will be made with this kind of sample? Explain.
