Question

dewayne wants to find out what career his fellow middle school students would like to pursue. he plans to collect three samples. which statements describe good methods for collecting the samples? select two options.. interview students at lunch because it is likely that students with different interests will be present. interview students in the art club because they are creative and will come up with fun answers. interview students in the robotics club because they are focused on academics and concerned about their future. interview students in english class because everyone has to take english, and he can reach a variety of students. interview students and provide only four choices so that the data does not get complicated.

Explanation:

Good sampling methods for this survey need to represent the diverse group of middle school students, avoiding biased, niche groups.

1. Interviewing students at lunch captures a broad mix of students with different interests, so it's a good method.
2. Interviewing only art/robotics club students targets narrow, non-representative groups, leading to biased data.
3. English class is mandatory, so it includes a wide variety of students, making it a good method.
4. Limiting to four choices restricts responses and doesn't improve sampling quality, so it's not a good method.

Answer:

A. Interview students at lunch because it is likely that students with different interests will be present.
D. Interview students in English class because everyone has to take English, and he can reach a variety of students.
