Question

which of the following describes a representative sample? (1 point)
○ evidence that is logically connected to a central idea
○ the amount of evidence needed to prove a claim
○ a small quantity that accurately represents a large group
○ information presented to prove or disprove a point

Explanation:

A representative sample is a subset of a population that mirrors the characteristics of the entire large group, allowing for valid inferences about the whole. The other options describe related but distinct concepts: relevant evidence, sufficient evidence quantity, and evidence in general, not a representative sample.

Answer:

C. a small quantity that accurately represents a large group
