Question

iranda is conducting a poll to determine how many students would attend a students-only school dance if one was held. Which sample is most likely to yield a representative sample for the poll? twenty names from each grade pulled blindly from a container filled with the names of the entire student body written on slips of paper every tenth person walking down Main Street in town at different times of the day all of the students who write into the school newspaper every student from all of Miranda’s classes

Answer 1

20 names each grade

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: 20 names from each grade

Explanation:

The two answers it comes down to are between every student from all of her classes and 20 students from each grade, however since the poll wants to determine how many people across the entire student body would attend, pulling from just Miranda's classes would add a grade level bias to the dance and would not be entirely random. 20 students from each grade is completely unbiased and properly represents the entire student body.
