Analyzing a Given Study Space Tourism? According to a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, more US Adults say they would not want to orbit the Earth than say they would. Among the 2,541 respondents from March 27- April 9, 2018, 42% say they would definitely or probably be interested in orbiting the Earth in a spacecraft in the future, while roughly 58% say they would not be interested. Among the many different viewpoints explored by the researchers, about one-half of men (51%) say they would| be interested in orbiting the Earth in a spacecraft, compared with one-third of women (33%). Interest in being a space tourist is higher among younger generations and men overall. Also, 63% of Millennials (born 1981 to 1996) say they would definitely or probably be interested in space tourism. Only 39% of Gen Xers (born 1965 to 1980) and 27% of those in the Baby Boomer or older generations would be interested. The 58% of US adults who say they wouldn't want to orbit the Earth aboard a spacecraft believe that such a trip would be either "too expensive" (28% of those asked) or "too scary" (28%), or that their age or health wouldn't allow it (28%). Some 16% of those not interested in space travel offered reasons other than the three options in the survey. The survey was part of the American Trends Panel (ATP), a nationally representative panel of randomly selected US adults living in households recruited from landline and cell phone random-digital-dial (RDD) surveys. Panelists participate monthly via self-administered web surveys. Panelists who do not have internet access were provided with a tablet and wireless internet connection. Analyze the surveys described above using the following exercises as a guide: 1. Identify the population being studied. 2. Identify the sample and the sample size. Is the sample representative of the population? Explain your answer. 3. Describe how the sample was chosen. Is there any potential bias in the sampling method? Explain your answer.
