Question

a school asks 35 randomly selected students in the music club where they want to go for a field trip. is this survey appropriate for making a decision for the whole school? (1 point)
yes, because the students were randomly selected
no, because not all students were asked.
yes, since the survey was about the field trip.
no, because the sample is biased toward students interested in music

Explanation:

A survey should represent the entire population. Selecting only music - club students (a specific group with a particular interest) creates a biased sample. A random selection within a biased group (music - club) doesn't make the sample representative of the whole school. Just because the survey is about a field trip (which all students might go on) doesn't mean a non - representative sample (music - club only) is appropriate. And not asking all students is not the main issue; the main issue is the sample's bias.

Answer:

No, because the sample is biased toward students interested in music.
