Using sampling concepts, it is found that the correct option is the first one, which is:

This is a convenience sample and is likely to overestimate the proportion of residents who take public  transportation.

--------------------------

  • In convenience sampling, participants are chosen at random, in a place.
  • In voluntary response sampling, a request is made for each participant.

  • In this sampling, there was no request, thus, it is convenience sampling.
  • Workers at a large office in the center of the city. The center has high traffic, thus, many people around the center prefer to use public transport, which means that the proportion is likely to be overestimated.

Thus, the correct option is:

This is a convenience sample and is likely to overestimate the proportion of residents who take public  transportation.
