You need 15 people to complete an experiment on how the brain works to remember world capital cities. It just so happens that your friend is throwing a party for your school’s quiz bowl team where 30 people will be attending. You plan to pass out a questionnaire at the party. Describe the problems associated with this tactic.
What will be an ideal response?
May vary. If your Power results suggest that only 15 people are needed, having
more may run the risk of invalidating your statistical results. Because these are quiz
bowl team members, they are more likely than the general public to know world capitals, not to mention the fact that they are students. Furthermore, in a social situation, there is little control and participants may share or compare answers, look them up on a mobile device, etc.
