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)
• 50 female students selected at random
• 45 first-year students selected at random
• all members of the Math Club
• 80 students selected at random during lunch
The best sample for this situation would be:
• 80 students selected at random during lunch.
This sample would give a more representative estimate of the number of students who bring their lunch to school every day as it includes students from various grade levels and genders, rather than being limited to only first-year students or only female students. Additionally, selecting the sample during lunchtime may capture a larger proportion of students who bring their lunch compared to other times of the day.
