Question

Foofy asks a sample of students their choice in the election for class president. concludes that Poindexter will win. It turns out that Dorcas wins. What is the statistical explanation for Foofy’s erroneous prediction?
Need to ask questions first to get more details.

Was the sample random? Was it large enough? Was the spread statistically significant? Was the way the question was stated biased?
