Identify the sampling method.

You want to determine the number of text messages students at your school send in a month. You go to the cafeteria and randomly ask students as they come out of the lunch line.

A. Random
B. Systematic
C. Stratified
D. None of these

I think it's A, but I'm not sure.

I'm running out of time and would really appreciate some help on this.

You are correct, the sampling method in this scenario is A. Random. Random sampling involves selecting individuals from a population in a way that each individual has an equal chance of being selected. In this case, you are randomly approaching students as they come out of the lunch line, which ensures that every student has an equal opportunity to be selected for the sample. This method helps to reduce bias and increase the probability of obtaining a representative sample.
