Question-The sampling method used for this situation would most likely be considered 'convenience sampling.' Find a potential fault, bais, or hidden variable in the way this sample was conducted that might skew the results. -What is the sample size,What is the proportion of vehicles who broke the speed limit over this 1 week period from Bay Area to San Francisco? -Construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of vehicles who break the speed limit annually. -Is…arrow_forward
