Answer 1

Answer: Look at the expanation please.

Explanation:

So she needs to know the population. So the population would be all of the chicken farms or chickens that are in her county.

The next question is what is a possible representative sample?

So one of the possibility is would be choosing a random farm in Krista´s county.

But there are many possible representative samples. You can get creative.

Thank you hope this helps. :)
