A statistics student is taking a poll of his high school classmates and their senior prom preferences. He asks those polled, “Last year tickets for the senior prom were $60 each. This year tickets will need to be $70 if we have a live band perform. Would you like to see a live band perform at this year’s senior prom?” Is this a valid question?

A. No, because questions about musical preferences are always invalid because you cannot measure people’s opinions on subjective manners like music and other creative arts.

B. No, because informing the students that there will be a $10 increase in the cost of a prom ticket may make them more likely to say that they would not like a live band to perform.

C. No, because students should be given a sample of the band’s music to allow them to offer a more informed opinion.

D. No, because a random sample of all seniors in the country should have been taken to determine if a live band should perform at this high school’s senior prom.

The correct answer will be B. No, because informing the students that there will be a $10 increase in the cost of a prom ticket may make them more likely to say that they would not like a live band to perform.

If the statistics student informs the other students and seniors about including a live band performance in the prom if $10 is increased, several students will be against the proposal of a live band in the prom.
The mindset of several of his classmates and seniors will change due to the mention of a $10 increase in the total contribution.
Therefore, it will be wise for the statistics student to not mention the increase in per-person budget for the prom at the initial stage.
The students should be explained the attractions of the prom initially, which will be followed by proposing the budget of the prom.

Hence, the correct option to be chosen for the given problem is B. No, because informing the students that there will be a $10 increase in the cost of a prom ticket may make them more likely to say that they would not like a live band to perform.
