Understand Random Sampling-
José is a student at Lake Middle School. For a math project, he needs to find out how many pets a
typical student at Lake Middle School has.
A population is an entire group being studied. If the population consists of people,
each person is called a member. For José's project, the population is all students at
Lake Middle School.
There are 350 students at Lake Middle School. Why might it be difficult for José to
collect data from all members of the population? Choose ALL that apply.
It might be hard to contact every student at the school.
There would be a lot of data to keep track of.
There might be students who only have cats as pets.
Some students at the school might not have any pets.
It would take a long time to survey every student at the school.
