Answer
# Explanation:
## Step1: Analyze Jordan's method
Surveying the first 15 people who attend a class on Monday is a convenience - sample. These 15 people may have certain characteristics in common (e.g., they are more punctual or have a particular interest in attending early), which can introduce bias.
## Step2: Analyze Taylor's method
Surveying every 4th person who attends any class in the next two weeks is a form of systematic sampling. If the population of class - attendees is well - mixed over the two - week period, this method has a better chance of being representative of the overall population of interest (the popularity of something among all class - attendees). It spreads the selection over a longer time and more classes, reducing the likelihood of a non - representative sample.
# Answer:
B. Taylor's suggestion is more likely to produce unbiased data than Jordan's suggestion.
