At the stadium for the Carolina Panthers the owners decide to survey the opinions of bleacher fans. They plan to select every 50th fan entering the stadium one Sunday afternoon. What is the weakness is using this sampling method? The weakness here is that not every bleacher fan has an equal opportunity of being chosen. Only every 50th person has a chance. Every other fan is left out. There is no weakness. This is a an excellent method of collecting a simple random sample. All people entering the stadium have an equal chance of being selected. There is no weakness, this is an example of a simple random sample. The weakness is that only the people that are volunteering to be part of the sample have a chance of being selected.
