You want to estimate the number of students who bring their lunch to school every day. Which of the following is the best sample for this situation? (1 point) 80 students selected at random during lunch 45 first-year students selected at random 50 female students selected at random all members of the Math Club
Selecting 50 female students at random would be the best sample for estimating the number of students who bring their lunch to school every day because it provides a more specific and targeted group compared to selecting students at random during lunch or selecting first-year students at random. By specifically selecting female students, you can potentially uncover any patterns or trends related to girls bringing their lunch to school. This sample group is more likely to provide a more accurate estimate of the number of students who bring their lunch to school every day. Selecting all members of the Math Club may not be the best sample as it may not represent the entire school population accurately.
