Gabriella wants to know what the most popular sport is at her school. She randomly selects 12 players from the girls’ lacrosse team to ask the question. Does her method create a representative sample of the population?

No because she’s only getting opinions from the lacrosse team. In order to get fully diverse opinions she must randomly choose people from her school.
