Question

Cheryl wants you find the number of hours 7th graders do work at home each week. There are 297 boys and girls in 7th grade, Cheryl random surveyed 50 girls in the entire school to find a number of our 7th graders do homework each week described why she would get a biased sample​

Answer 1

Randomly surveying 50 girls would most likely bring non-seventh-graders into the sample.

The sample also does not take any boys into account, and they most likely make up about half of the seventh-grade population.

The results would not be a representative sample of the population.

Explanation:

From edge

Answer 2

Answer: There are a total of 297 students in the 7th grade. Rough estimates would say that about half of that number are boys and half are girls. Asking only 50 random girls would be biased because not only would it not be all of the girls (the number of girls would be around 148 or 149) but it would also be ignoring the roughly 148 to 149 boys there are on estimate. The sample would be biased because it would be ignoring the opinions of more than half the seventh grade.
