To determine how American college students feel about commuting, 100 students at a private
university were chosen by selecting 50 men and 50 women to participate. They were asked
how far they commute each day (in minutes) to campus.
a. Is this an observational study or experiment?
b. What is the sample?
c. What is the target population?
d. What is the sampling method? (Simple random, stratified, convenient, …)
e. Is the data collected qualitative or quantitative?
f. Why is it unlikely that the results of this study will be valid?

1) In the study, we survey members of a sample without trying to affect them while in the experiment, we assign people or things to groups and apply some treatment to one of the groups, while the other group does not receive treatment. Thus, this is an observational study.

2) The sample is the 100 students made up of 50 boys and 50 girls.

3) The target Population are American College Students

4) The sampling method is; Simple random Sampling

5) The data is qualitative because it deals with the description of feelings rather than dealing with numbers and figures.

6) It is unlikely that the results would be invalid because of sampling bias as it was only done in a private university.
