How do sociologists know if the sample they are using is representative? if the people in the sample freely volunteered to serve as representatives if the sample has the same mix of people, in the same proportions, as the population being studied if the sample has an even number, decided by the researcher, of people from several different categories or backgrounds if the participants have been interviewed to reveal possible bias?
