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 theme should reflect the preferences of the students who will attend the eighth-grade dance. A sample of eighth-grade students is therefore the best representation of the group being asked about. Student government members alone may not represent all eighth graders, while all middle school students includes students outside the intended group.
