A survey is conducted to determine the favorite pet of students at INCA. The survey is given to all the students attending Mr. Gann's LiveLesson. Is this a random sample?

Question

A
Yes, because every student in Mr. Gann's LiveLesson room had an equal chance of being surveyed.

B
No, because the students of the entire school did not have an equal chance of being surveyed.

C
Yes, because the survey is based on students' favorite pets, and that makes it random.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

B No, because the students of the entire school did not have an equal chance of being surveyed.

A random sample should include individuals from the entire population being studied, not just a specific group (in this case, students attending Mr. Gann's LiveLesson).
