The population of the students in the classroom accurately represents the population of the whole school.
The sample would contain people that are not part of the population.
The population is small enough to survey the entire group.
The sample would be larger than the population.

Amalie should survey the entire population rather than a sample of the population because **the population is small enough to survey the entire group.**
When the population size is manageable, surveying everyone can provide accurate and comprehensive results without the potential biases or inaccuracies that can arise from sampling. This ensures that all voices and preferences are considered, leading to a more reliable conclusion about the preference for hot dogs or hamburgers in her class.
