miranda is conducting a poll to determine how many students would attend a students - only school dance if one was held. which sample is most likely to yield a representative sample for the poll?\n○ twenty names from each grade pulled blindly from a container filled with the names of the entire student body written on slips of paper\n○ every tenth person walking down main street in town at different times of the day\n○ all of the students who write into the school newspaper\n○ every student from all of mirandas classes
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
A representative sample should be randomly selected from the entire population of interest (students in this case). Pulling twenty names from each grade blindly from a container with all - student names ensures randomness and representation across different grades. The other options have biases: people on Main Street are not just students; students who write to the school newspaper may have a particular interest or opinion; and students from Miranda's classes are a non - random subset of students.

twenty names from each grade pulled blindly from a container filled with the names of the entire student body written on slips of paper
