Final answer:
The applicable choices to the situation of random student selection for an advisory panel are: it represents fairness in student selection, may lead to biased selection if the pool is not diverse, and encourages student participation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks us to Pick all that apply to the situation where each math class randomly selects two students to represent their class on an advisory panel. Here are the applicable choices:
- a) Represents fairness in student selection: Random selection is generally considered fair because it does not favor any student over another; each student has an equal chance to be chosen.
- c) May lead to biased selection: Although the method is random, without structured diversity criteria, the process may not automatically ensure a diverse representation if the larger population is not diverse to begin with.
- d) Encourages student participation: Since students know they have a fair chance of being selected, it may motivate more students to show interest in being part of the panel.
Option b, Ensures diversity in representation, does not apply because random selection does not guarantee diversity in the outcome, particularly if the group from which students are selected is not diverse.
