There are two people in Sophia's class of 25 named Michael. She infers that 8% of people in the U.S. are named Michael. What is

wrong with Sophia's conclusion?

A)Nothing is wrong with Sophia's conclusion. 2/25=0.08, which is 8%.

B)Sophia used a convenience sample, so it is not an accurate representation
of the population.

C)Sophia should have only looked at a percentage of the males in her class
with the name Michael

D)Sophia's sample was too small; she should have counted all the people
named Michael in her entire school.
