You and your friend decide to conduct a survey at your school to see whether students are in favor of a new dress code policy. Your friend stands at the school entrance and asks the opinions of the first 100 students who came to campus on Monday. You obtain a list of all students at the school and randomly select 60 to survey

Your friend finds 34% of his sample in favor of the new dress code policy, but you find only 16%. Which do you believe us more likely to be representative of the school population? Explain your choice.

Answer:

34% in favor of the new dress code

Explanation:

Because it has a higher percentage and when there is only 16% of students that doesn't really prove the claim or statement. But, when there is more participating or voting that claim or statement is supported.
