Question

A survey is conducted to find out which club is preferred more by the students at your school, space club or music club.

The sample best suited for this survey is:

• A. 150 randomly chosen students at the school.
• B. 150 randomly chosen students at the gym.
• C. 200 randomly chosen students at the gym.
• D. 250 randomly chosen students at the school

Answer 1

The correct option is D 250 randomly chosen students at the school

The survey is about finding which is more preffered by the students.

Here the population is total students in the school.

So, choosing students randomly from the gym doesn't make the sample representing the population. Hence this sample is not the best suited one.

Choosing the students randomly from the school will represent the population of the survey.

When there are multiple samples that represents the population, the sample of a larger size provides a better conclusion.

Hence,
250 randomly chosen students at the school will be the most suitable sample for the survey.
