Question

A class of 12 girls and 14 boys is going to choose 3 students to represent them in student government. Allie suggested that the first 3 students to arrive in class the next day should be the representatives. Bobby suggested that each student roll 2 numbers cubes and the 3 students with the highest sum should be the representatives. Whose method would result in a fair sample that represents the class population, and why?

Answer 1

Bobbys is fair because it is random. Allies is not fair cause some people can arrive early and it wont be fair for the people who can't.

Answer 2

The fairest method of these 2 suggested would be the one suggested by Bobby as it will be more random than the first three to show up to class.
