1. The statement says that asking every tenth person that enters a toy store at the mall is representative of the population.
2. This statement is FALSE.
3. This sampling method introduces bias because it may not be representative of the entire population visiting the mall.
4. It could lead to skewed results if, for example, only a specific age group tends to enter the toy store, making the sample unrepresentative of the overall age distribution at the mall.
5. To ensure a more representative sample, a random sampling method should be used where every individual in the population has an equal chance of being selected.
