The best sample for estimating the number of students who bring their lunch to school every day would be option 2: 80 students selected at random during lunch. This sample is representative of the larger population of students and provides a diverse range of students who may or may not bring their lunch to school every day. Option 1, all members of the Math Club, is not representative of the entire student population. Option 3, 50 female students selected at random, also does not provide a representative sample as it only focuses on a specific gender. Option 4, 45 first-year students selected at random, may not be representative of the overall student body as first-year students may have different lunch habits compared to students in higher grades.
