To find the percent of students in your grade who eat five servings of fruit and vegetables each day, you could use a simple random sampling method. This involves selecting a random sample of students from your grade and surveying them about their eating habits.

An example of a survey question without bias is: "On average, how many servings of fruits and vegetables do you consume daily?" This question is unbiased because it does not suggest a desired answer or influence the respondent's choice. It simply asks for the respondent's personal eating habits without any leading or judgment.
