A high school principal conducts a survey on whether or not students would be interested in an elective art course. The principal knows that it would be too time-consuming to survey all 482 students in the high school, so he decides to ask the 98 students currently in the cafeteria. One of the students states that this survey cannot be used to make an inference about the entire high school. Which of the following statements best justifies the student's interpretation of the survey?

The survey sample was too small.

B
An art teacher should have conducted the survey.

C
The survey method was flawed since the sample was not random.

D
An observational study, rather than a sample survey, should have been used.

The survey method was flawed since the sample was not random.

What is a survey?

A survey is an investigation that is carried out on a sample of a population. However, for the sample to be representative of the population,  care must be taken to pick the participants in the survey at random. The principal ought to have carefully crafted a method in which the sample can be selected in a randomized manner.

For instance, the principal could have decided to take the fifth student in every row in all the classes in the school. In that way, the sample would be adequately randomized hence the result of the survey would be adjudged as representative of the situation in the entire population and thus it will be reliable as a tool that can be used to make scientific inferences.

Thus, the survey method was flawed since the sample was not random.
