a. Using the proportion of students with Type O blood to learn about the proportion of U.S. adults with Type O blood
b. Using the proportion of students who eat fast food regularly to learn about the proportion of U.S. college students who eat fast food regularly

Answer 1

Answer: A. Representative, since blood types are probably not different among students at the cafeteria compared to the U.S. population, B. Not representative, since students in the cafeteria may eat most of their meals at the cafeteria instead of eating fast food
