In which of the following situations would the use of sampling be most appropriate? multiple choice
a. the need for precise information is less important.
b. the number of items comprising the population is smaller.
c. the likelihood of selecting a representative sample is relatively low.
d. the use of sampling would be appropriate in all of these situations.

The use of sampling would be best in the following situation:

a. The need for precise information is less important.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sampling:

It is such a process of analysis in which we divide a large proportion of data into smaller proportions called samples to determine the characteristics of that data.

The option a is correct as in sampling, we take a smaller proportion from a large pool of data so when the precise information is less important, it is a good way to use sampling.The option b is not correct as the number of items comprising the population is always large.The option c is not correct as the likelihood of selecting a representative is relatively not small rather it is large.The option d is incorrect as the use of sampling is not appropriate in all of these situations.
