A statistics student is doing a project for her class. She wantsto make a prediction for the outcome of an upcoming nationalelection. Since there are only two candidates,she decides that herquestion is "Which candidate do more people favour in the upcomingelection? She decides to randomly interview 100 students crossingthe courtyard on campus about their preference. Is this sample goodfor drawing general conclusions about the results of theelection?
1- yes, since the people in the sample are chosen randomly, thesample should represent the population.
2- No, the results are not generalised because the students ather school are not representative of the population of allvoters.
3- No, the results are not generalised because too few peopleare interviewed.
4-No, the results are not generalised because too many peopleare interviewed.
