Final answer:
Asking ten students wearing football jerseys each day for a week would not produce a representative sample to determine the favorite sport of the students at the local high school. This sample would likely be biased toward football enthusiasts.
Step-by-step explanation:
The subject of the question is Statistics and Probability.
In this question, a student is asking if asking ten students wearing football jerseys each day for a week would produce a representative sample to determine the favorite sport of the students at the local high school. The answer is no, this sample would likely be biased toward football enthusiasts.
A representative sample is one that accurately represents the characteristics of the larger population, in this case, the students at the local high school. By only asking students wearing football jerseys, there is a high chance that the sample will be biased towards football enthusiasts and may not accurately reflect the preferences of all students at the school.
