What is a sample?

A sample is a smaller piece of a bigger group.

300

Name ONE type of sampling.

Probability (random) Sampling uses randomization to select sample members. Everyone in the group has an equal chance of being picked, like drawing names from a hat. This is a fair way to collect data and helps get accurate results.

OR 

Non-probability (biased) sampling uses non-random techniques. Therefore, some people are more likely to be picked than others, which can make the results unfair or inaccurate. It's like only asking your friends their favorite food and saying it’s everyone’s favorite, that’s biased.

Explain what a median value means? 

The median is the middle value when all the data is sorted from smallest to largest. EX (10, 12, 12, 13, 15), the median is the third value: 12.

Explain what a biased sample method means?

Biased sampling means that not everyone has an equal chance of being picked. It’s unfair, and the results might not show what the whole group thinks or feels. It’s like only asking your friends what snack they like, then saying that’s everyone’s favorite.
