Answer to Problem 22PPE
The sample is not representative of the population.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given information is: asked every fourth person at the local dog park.

In the sample, every fourth person at the local dog park is not the representative of the groups.
And also some people are not present in the dog park.
The characteristics of sample and population are not same.

Thus, the result of the sample question is biased.
Therefore, the sample is not representative of the population.
