the sample is not representative of the population because families with school - aged children choose..., the rest of the town’s population to want the land to be used for a choose.... a more representative sample of the population would be people

Explanation:

The sample (families with kids in school) is biased. It excludes families without school - aged kids and other town residents. A representative sample should include all town residents (e.g., families without kids, single adults, elderly) to reflect diverse opinions on land use.

Answer:

The sample is not representative of the population because families with school - aged children are more likely than the rest of the town’s population to want the land to be used for a playground. A more representative sample of the population would be people who live in the town (including all residents: families with/without kids, different age groups, etc.)
