Tomas wants to find the average time that students in his school spend on homework each week. He decides to take a sample. His plan: choose one class at random, then ask the five students in that class who got the highest marks in the last test. Give a reason why Tomas's sampling method may be biased. Write your reason as one short sentence.
💡 Need a nudge?
Would the students Tomas asks be typical of everyone in the school?
