To determine if the data collected by the middle school student is valid, we need to assess the potential biases in her data collection method. The answer choices provided are:
A) No. She didn't interview enough people.
B) Yes. Most middle school students ride the bus.
C) Yes. She interviewed a large enough sample of students.
D) No. Students under the bus canopy are more likely to ride the bus.
The correct answer is D) No. Students under the bus canopy are more likely to ride the bus.
Explanation:
The data collected by the student might not be representative of the entire student population due to potential bias in her data collection method. By standing under the bus canopy, she is more likely to encounter students who take the bus to school. This bias could result in an overrepresentation of bus riders in her data.
To collect more reliable and valid data, the student should consider varying her data collection location to ensure a fair representation of different modes of transportation. She could interview students in other areas of the school where students who don't take the bus are more likely to be found, such as near bike racks or main entrances. By diversifying the collection location, the student can obtain a more accurate picture of the different ways students get to school.
