Jonte is trying to determine the amount of money 7th graders spend on candy each month. He thinks he can poll a random sample by putting the names of every student in his class into a hat, then pulling out 10 names to take his survey. Will Jonte have a random sample using this method?

By putting all the names of the students in his class into a hat and randomly selecting 10 names, he is giving every student an equal chance of being selected for the survey.
