Natasha wants to find out if the neighborhood supports lowering the speed limit on the street in front of her school. Which is a valid sample for the survey?

A valid sample should represent the neighborhood whose support Natasha wants to measure. Thirty residents who live within 2 miles of the school are likely to be affected by the speed limit and are part of the local community. Students in one class and parents in another town do not represent the neighborhood, while the first five passing drivers are too few and may not be representative.
