SOLUTION

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: Define a random a bias sample

Sampling bias occurs when some members of a population are systematically more likely to be selected in a sample than others. A random sample is a sample that is chosen randomly. It could be more accurately called a randomly chosen sample. Random samples are used to avoid bias and other unwanted effects.

STEP 2: Answer Question A

Survey Method 2 is a random sample since the names are chosen without looking

STEP 3: Answer Question B

Survey Method 3 is a bias sample because only the students who are in soccer and football teams are surveyed leaving out other students doing other sports.

STEP 4: Answer Question C

Another survey method the manager could use that will create a random sample is surveying 50 students to find out their favorite teachers in the school.

STEP 5: Answer Question D

The larger the sample, the more likely it will be representative of the population. Although, beyond a certain point, the results won't change much, so 80 is probably enough. put them in numerical order from least to greatest.

80 sample size is enough to represent the population.
