Question

1. jayla is collecting data of favorite after school activities. she asks the students in her dance class what their favorite activity is. is this a representative (random) sample? why or why not?

Explanation:

A representative sample should represent the entire population. Jayla only asks students in her dance class. These students are likely to have a bias towards dance - related activities as they are already in a dance class. So, they don't represent all students' favorite after - school activities.

Answer:

No, it is not a representative (random) sample because the students in the dance class are likely to be biased towards dance as an after - school activity and do not represent all students' favorite after - school activities.
