Question

to choose a mascot for a new middle school, 8th - grade students were polled, and their top choice was selected as the mascot. was the sample a biased sample?

Explanation:

A biased sample is one that does not represent the entire population well. Polling only 8 - grade students to choose a mascot for a whole middle - school means other grades' opinions are not considered. So, it is a non - representative sample.

Yes
