Question

Gabriel wants to know which pizzeria is most popular with students at his school. Which group of students should Gabriel survey in order to get the most accurate results?
A. All the boys in the cafeteria

B. All the students on his soccer team

C. Every 5th person entering the school

D. Every 5th person entering Daniella's Pizzeria​

Answer 1

C, every 5th student entering the school.

This would provide the least biased answer by the chances, it would not be skewed as my boy Gabe is asking random people that are spread out rather than simply everyone on his soccer team (if there is a connection between enjoying pizza and playing soccer) or asking everyone in the cafeteria, as similar people may sit together. It’s all in the chances.

Answer 2

Question:

Gabriel wants to know which pizzeria is most popular with students at his school. Which group of students should Gabriel survey in order to get the most accurate results?

Answer:

C. Every 5th person entering the school.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. All the boys in the cafeteria. This is incorrect because they would only add up to 1. The boys. And 2. Only the boys inside of the cafeteria. So that not even counting the ones that are still in the classrooms or in the bathrooms. so therefore A is incorrect.

B. All the students on his soccer team. This would not add up to much because lets say there are 10 players on his soccer team and over 100 people in his school, that would only make up 10% of his whole school, so obviously, B. Is also incorrect.

D. Every 5th person entering Daniella's Pizzeria. This is incorrect also because Gabriel wants to know which pizzeria is most popular in his school, this answer does not say anything about his school, it only says which pizzeria and how many people. In answer D. It says Every 5th person entering Daniella's Pizzeria. This answer already says which pizzeria he would be going to so that part is already proof that D is incorrect.

C. Every 5th person entering the school. This is correct beause it explains how he would be asking every 5th person entering the school. So lets say most of the people he tallied likes Daniella's Pizzeria the most. There would be a tally poll that I have shown in the picture. (Sorry that its messy I did that on mouse.) and as you see in green it says that more people like Daniella's Pizzeria more than any others. So now Gabriel has his results, so now he knows which pizzeria to go to.
