00:09

desperate need for attention and internet pop up that asked

00:13

you if you like wendy's or mcdonald's is ah what

00:17

and hear the potential answers an example Expo tracking opting

00:20

our quota sample huh Well internet papa bads might seem

00:25

like anything but scientific but they actually give us a

00:27

window into a certain category of poll taking a random

00:31

sample poll is meant to be representative of the entire

00:35

universe So if we wanted to figure out if people

00:37

preferred mars to venus we'd have to make sure we

00:40

reached out to a sample that represented all types of

00:43

people across the galaxy In the case here our sample

00:46

would just be people who have access to the internet

00:49

01:18

the opinions of a particular group So unless the internet

01:21

polling company was specifically interested in polling the company of

01:25

the internet were still not quite there Which means an

01:31

internet pop up that asked whether you like wendy's or

01:42

people who opt to be taking the test to be

01:44

counted All i need to do is click to proceed
