A) Yes. Most students like to do art.
B) No. Students in middle school would probably like to take drama.
C) Yes. Students in an art class are a good group to get a sample of the general population.
D) No. Students currently taking an art class would be more likely to want to take another art class.

Answer 1

answer is option: D

Explanation:

As looking in the table we could clearly see that the students taking art classes are not mentioned.

so, teacher could not draw any valid conclusion regarding the art classes from the data given.

Hence, the answer to this data is option D.

No. students currently taking an art class would be more likely to want to take another art class.

Answer 2

The teachers cannot make a valid conclusion from the data because they only surveyed students from the art class. If they really wanted to find out what the students of the school wanted for their elective, they should have asked students from different classes.

So, the answer is:
D) No. Students currently taking an art class would be more likely to want to take another art class.
