Answer 1

A- Students who do not act.

B- Every 4th student selected from an alphabetical register of the club.

E- Students whose names are randomly selected from a hat.

Explanation:

The objective is to determine where the drama club should go to celebrate their final performance.

In orther to achieve that objective, the sample must be representative. For example, the sample must be formed by students that actually acts.

Therefore, A, B and E are not representative samples because they don't act, every 4th student selected doesn't imply that all of them act, and selecting randomly names won't represents students that actually acts.

Answer 2

A- Students who do not act

B- Every 4th student selected from an alphabetical register of the club

E- Students whose names are randomly selected from a hat

Explanation:

A drama teacher wants to decide where the drama club should go to celebrate their performance.

We are to determine whether which of the options is not a representative sample.

By definition, a sample which is the subset of the bigger population reflecting the characteristics is said to be a representative sample.

So the correct options are:

A- Students who do not act

B- Every 4th student selected from an alphabetical register of the club

E- Students whose names are randomly selected from a hat
