Question 1 • Pre-Algebra B
No. A sample taken only from an honors class is not a random sample of all seniors, so it may not represent the whole senior class. Honors students may be more likely to plan to attend college, which makes the sample biased; therefore Lorena cannot reliably infer that 85% of all seniors are going to college. Surveying every senior is not necessary to make a valid inference.
