Missing Content:

The city council of Anytown, U.S.A., is reviewing the funding for local sports-related activities. To be better informed, it commissions a study.

Sample groups:

a. high-school students at three different schools

b. people randomly approached at a softball tournament, a swim meet, an athletic supply store, and a sports bar

c. people randomly approached at a department store and at a shopping mall

Step-by-step explanation:

The arrangement from best to worst will be (b) (c) and then (a).

This is because people randomly approached at softball tournament, a swim meet, an athletic supply store, and a sports bar

would automatically have more interest in sports as they are in a place where a sport is being practised.

Then option (c) as there's a higher chance of finding individuals having active interest in sports in malls and stores than in school as the students are busy in studies more.
