A Colorado fashion magazine that has 2 million readers found in a mail-in survey with 5,800 responses that 56% of respondents chose Colorado as their favorite place to live, ±2% with a confidence level of 98%. Which of the following choices best describes the survey? A. The sample is probably based on a representative sample of the magazine’s readers because it’s so large. B. The sample isn’t based on a representative sample of the magazine’s readers. C. Because the magazine is based on Colorado, more readers are likely to buy the magazine who are from Colorado; therefore, they’d be more likely to vote it as the best place to live. D. The sample results are likely biased because the respondents had to make the effort to mail back the survey. E. Choices B, C, and D
