In a study on the reading habits of students at a school, a researcher wants to collect data to analyze the reading preferences of 7th-grade students. The researcher can choose to conduct a census survey, where all 7th-grade students will be interviewed, or a sample survey, where a representative sample of this group will be selected for the interview. Considering that the census survey can be more time-consuming and costly, while the sample survey may have results with a margin of error, discuss which method would be more appropriate for this study. Additionally, explain the possible consequences of choosing the research method on the interpretation of results and the formulation of conclusions about the reading habits of 7th-grade students.
