Question

 ____ students

Answer 1

Kendra picked 25 male and 25 female students from each of the 10 high schools in her town.

The number of students from each high school is: 25 males + 25 females = 50 students per high school.

Since there are 10 high schools, the total number of students in her sample is: 50 students/high school * 10 high schools = 500 students.

So, the total number of students included in her representative sample is 500 students.
