Question

A school principal wants to determine which type of speaker the students prefer to invite to an assembly for the entire student population. Which survey method would produce the best representative sample----A) survey every fifth person who shops at a mall B) survey all of the students on the student council C) Survey every tenth student entering the school one morning D) survey all the students who went to the last basketball game.

PLS HELP

Answer 1

Since the question asks for the best representative sample of the entire student population, the answer is
C) survey every tenth student entering the school one morning.

Answer 2

Option C is correct.

Explanation:

C- Survey every tenth student entering the school one morning.

This is because the survey is related to the entire student population of a school as they want to know which type of speaker the students prefer to invite to an assembly.

Reasons for incorrect options:

Option A is not true as it will relate to a mall survey. Option B is also incorrect as it will only survey few students of a student council that cannot represent a whole population. Option D is related to basketball survey, it has nothing to do with any speaker chosen for an assembly.
