Question

Staff from the school newspaper is taking a poll to find out how students in the school are going to vote in the upcoming election for class president. Which group would best represent a sample population?
Every tenth student staying after school.
Every tenth student in the library at lunch.
Every tenth student in the main hallway between class.
Every tenth student in the student section at the school football game.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer option is 'Every tenth student in the main hallway between class.'

Step-by-step explanation:

Every tenth student in the main hallway between class would best represent the sample population since majority of the students transit this hallway unlike the rest of the options.

For instance, polling every tenth student in the library at lunch would result in the favor of views of students who frequently visit the library and polling every tenth student in the student section at the school football game would go in favor of those who prefer sports.
