Sagot :
The statement given by Mai to principal is wrong because of it using the word "exactly" in her statement.
Why do we do sampling?
We do sampling so that we don't have to work on entire population of items but only on that sample in a way that we can predict information about population.
Most of the times, it isn't possible in real world to work on entire populations. Samples come out for rescue by assumptions that they will have some properties of the population pertained in them.
Thus, the sample should be taken out such that it includes data of the population as much as it can in unbiased way so as to imitate population. (assuming that we want the sample to contain the summary of the population).
So, in this case, Mai did sampling(sample of 30 students was selected) instead of working on entire population (all students of her school).
In her sample, she found that 27 out of 30 students think its a good idea to start and end the school day an hour later than usual.
So, from sample, 90% of those 30 students think it’s a good idea to start and end the school day an hour later than usual.
And yes, we can use this data to approximate or predict about the percentage of students who think it’s a good idea to start and end the school day an hour later than usual.
But we cannot surely say that it will be exactly 90%.
The only statement we can give about the population is:
Almost (or such unsure wordings) 90% of all of the students in the school think it’s a good idea to start and end the school day an hour later than usual!
Thus, the statement given by Mai to principal is wrong because of it using the word "exactly" in her statement.
