Lakeesha wants to find out what percentage of the people in her town speak more than one language. Which is the best group of people for her to survey?

Question

A.
100 people who are enrolled in a Spanish class

B.
100 people randomly selected from the telephone book

Answer 1

The best group of people for Lakeesha to survey would be option B: 100 people randomly selected from the telephone book. This group would provide a more representative sample of the entire population of her town. Option A, 100 people who are enrolled in a Spanish class, may only represent a specific subset of people who are interested in learning Spanish but may not necessarily reflect the entire population.
