To determine which option does NOT represent a sample of the population of students at Lincoln High School, we need to understand the characteristics of a proper sample. A proper sample should be a subset of the population that reflects the diversity of the entire group.
Here are some examples of what might NOT represent a sample of the population:
1. **Only Students from One Grade**: If you only surveyed students from the 12th grade, that would not represent the entire population of Lincoln High School, as it excludes students from other grades.
2. **Only Athletes**: If you only included students who participate in sports teams, this would not represent the entire student body, as it excludes those involved in music programs or academic clubs.
3. **Students from a Specific Club**: If you only surveyed students who are members of a specific academic club, it would not be a representation of the wider student body.
4. **A Randomly Selected Group of Students**: If you randomly selected students from throughout the school, considering a mix from different grades, sports teams, music programs, and academic clubs, that would be an appropriate sample.
If you provide specific choices or options, I can help you identify which one does NOT represent a sample of the population of students at Lincoln High School.
