Question 2

A national newsmagazine publishes an article on efforts to restrict smoking in public places.
 
  Subsequently, the magazine receives 1,500 letters commenting on the article, with nearly two-thirds of the letters favoring tougher restrictions on smoking in public. Would this be an accurate reflection of public opinion on this issue? a. Yes, because the magazine has a national circulation and the sample size is sufficiently large
  b. Not likely, because the sample is not random and probably not an accurate reflection of public opinion on the issue
  c. Not likely, because the sample size is too small
  d. Not likely, because a poll is only a snapshot of what people think at the time a poll is taken
  e. Not likely, because the sample size is too large
