C.) survey every 15th student who enters the cafeteria at lunchtime.

Answer:

C) survey every 15th student who enters the cafeteria at lunchtime.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample is a subset of the population. We take samples because it is easy to analyze samples as compared to population and it is less time taken.

The sample is said to be a random sample if the sample is taken randomly or each unit is selected without any bias.

Option (A) is not a random sample as units are selected from Mr. Lee’s math class which is bias selection.

Option (B) is incorrect as Carlin take a survey of all students of 1st period and it might be possible that they are math's student.

Option (c) is a random sample as Cafeteria has every type of student.

Option (D) is also incorrect as the sample is biased.
