Answer: D) NO, drawing a sample only from AP statistics does not give a random sample of girls attending prom at the school.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mercedes is conducting a study about the costs of prom dresses.

The total students in her school = 2500

She asks 10 of the girls in her AP statistics class to participate in a survey.

Since 10 is a too smaller number than 2500 which means sample taken by her for survey is very small and it can be biased.

Therefore, D is the right answer .
