There are two people in Sophia's class of 25 named Michael. She infers that 8% of people in the U.S. are named Michael. What is wrong with Sophia's conclusion?

A) Nothing is wrong with Sophia's conclusion. 2/25 = 0.08, which is 8%.


B) Sophia used a convenience sample, so it is not an accurate representation of the population.


C) Sophia should have only looked at a percentage of the males in her class with the name Michael.


D) Sophia's sample was too small; she should have counted all the people named Michael in her entire school.
