Question

The principal at a school with eight hundred students is considering changes to the lunch menu. She wants to get the opinions of all of the students about their favorite menu items. So she asks the first 5 students who get off the bus in the morning. Which statement does not reflect the situation?

The sample is biased.

The principal collected a representative sample.

The sample size is too small.

The principal used convenience sampling.

Answer 1

would it be C?

Answer 2

I believe that the answer is c because the principal is only asking 5 out of the 800 students meaning the survey is too small to decide. It needs to be the maximum amount of 75% out of the 800.

Answer 3

Thank you!

Answer 4

You are very much welcome!
