I’m leaning towards 17% as well, but I could be mixing it up with another statistic we covered in class.

I thought it was 50%, but now that I think about it, that seems too high for the long form.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like it’s closer to 25%. I remember practicing a question about census forms.

I think I remember that only a small percentage of households get the long form, maybe around 17%?

This seems like a straightforward question about census data. I feel good about option B, 17%, since that aligns with my understanding that the long form is only sent to a sample of households, not the full population.

Okay, let me think this through. The long form is more comprehensive, so it makes sense that it would only go to a subset of households. I'm leaning towards option A, 83%, since that's a pretty high percentage, but I'm not totally confident.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. The long form has more detailed questions, so I'd guess it's sent to a smaller percentage of households. Maybe around 25%? I'll go with option D to be safe.

I'm pretty sure the long form of the US Census is only sent to a sample of households, not the full population. I think the percentage is around 17%, so I'll go with option B.

I remember reading that the long form is sent to about half of households for more detailed information.

Why do you think it's 50%?

Haha, imagine if the answer was 100%. Like, 'Congratulations, you get the long form!' That would be a wild Census.

That would be crazy if every household got the long form!

Dude, 83%? Who comes up with these options? Clearly the answer is B, 17%.

Wait, is this a trick question? What if it's actually 25% and they're just trying to confuse us?
DA

No, it's not a trick question. The long form is only sent to a small percentage of households.

It's actually 5% of households that receive the long form.
