Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

No, the sample with the least potential bias would be option B: A randomly selected group of 30 junior high students. This is because selecting a random group of junior high students ensures that the sample is representative of the larger population of junior high students. Option A (book sellers) would introduce bias as they may have different preferences or perspectives compared to the students. Option C (students leaving the public library) could introduce bias as it may only represent students who visit the library frequently. Option D (students attending the researcher's child's birthday party) would introduce bias as it is not representative of the larger population of junior high students.
