The student government wants to determine the theme for the eighth-grade dance. Which group would it be best to take a sample from?

The dance theme is intended for the eighth-grade class, so the sample should represent all eighth-grade students. Surveying only student government members or only eighth-graders in student government would leave out many students and could bias the results. Therefore, eighth-grade students are the best group to sample.
