Question 19 • Mathematics III

The president of the math club is conducting a survey to see where the twelfth-grade class wants to go on their field trip. Instead of asking the whole class, she surveys only the twelfth-grade members of the math club. She records their choices and plans to present the results to the school principal. What type of sampling did she use?

Answer
A
stratified sampling
B
systematic random sampling
C
convenience sampling
D
simple random sampling

Explanation

She surveyed the twelfth-grade students who were easiest for her to reach: the members of her math club. This is convenience sampling, because the participants are selected based on availability rather than randomly chosen from the entire twelfth-grade class. Stratified or simple random sampling would require a planned random selection from the class.
