Question

alvin asked 10 random students in the lunch line if they would be willing to discuss what they planned to buy for lunch. 7 of them said yes. is this sample of the students in the lunch line likely to be representative? yes no

Explanation:

A representative sample should reflect the characteristics of the entire population. Here, Alvin only asked 10 random students in the lunch line. The sample size is small, and there's no indication that these 10 students are diverse enough to represent all students in the lunch line (e.g., different grades, genders, lunch preferences could be unaccounted for). A small, randomly selected (but still small) sample like this is not likely to capture the full range of the population's characteristics.

Answer:

no
