Staff from the school newspaper is taking a poll to find out how students in the school are going to vote in the upcoming election for class president. Which group would best represent a sample population?

A good sample should include students with different interests and schedules, rather than focusing on one specific group. The main hallway between classes is likely to have students from across the school passing through, so surveying every tenth student there is more representative than surveying only students at a football game, in the library, or staying after school.
