Which of the following groups should Ethan survey make his prediction? One hundred random students from the entire school one hundred random student from the eighth grade The first one hundred students from an Alphabetical of eighth graders the first one hundred students of an Alphabetical of the entire school
It depends on what Ethan wants to predict. If he wants to predict something about the entire school, he should survey one hundred random students from the entire school or the first one hundred students from an alphabetical list of the entire school. If he wants to predict something specific to the eighth grade, he should survey one hundred random students from the eighth grade or the first one hundred students from an alphabetical list of eighth graders.
To help Ethan make his prediction, he should survey one hundred random students from the entire school. This group will provide a representative sample of students from different grades and backgrounds. Surveying one hundred random students from the eighth grade or using an alphabetical order to select the first one hundred students from either the eighth grade or the entire school may introduce biases and may not accurately represent the overall student population.
