Answer:

No, this is not sample representative of the entire class

Explanation:

A sample selected without any conscious bias such that each element of which has an equal probability of being selected. A representative sample has the same traits as that of its population as a whole.

''In a class, the teacher asks each person wearing red to name his or her

favorite color'' is not a representative sample as only persons are asked to name his or her favorite color who are wearing red. So, each person of the class does not have an equal opportunity of being selected.
