a whole 7% polled. truly representative/s
It's just saying that 7% of the total people they surveyed fall into the group "men 18-29". Without knowing how many people were actually polled and how they were selected we cannot say anything about the statistical validity of the sample.
gotta be more than 7% of the population at 18-29.
According to wikipedia, 15-24 age group is about 13% of the population. 18-29 is a slightly older and wider range, so could be 14%. Then obviously only half of those are men, so we end up at 7%. That's totally plausible
i still think such numbers are underestimates since the amount of people that actively avoid being counted are steadfast about it
Sampling
Well of it is randomly selected, then i think it is?
and the other 93% are chopped liver because they dont register. kayo, pectate
