Answer:

d.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

In a school;

Population mean = 900

First student:

Sample size  = 100

Sample proportion = 0.17

Second student:

Sample size = 90

Sample proportion = 0.24

The difference between the two percentages is a result of the random error because numbers were not the same as a result of variability inherent in sampling.
