A school principal wants to know what theme students prefer for the spring dance. There are 150 students in the 6th grade, 200 students in the 7th grade, and 187 students in the 8th grade. Select all the representative samples that can help the principal draw conclusions about which themes the students prefer.

A)The students in the 7th grade homerooms

B)The same number of students from each grade whose names are randomly selected from a hat

C)The members of the student council

D)Students who attended the winter dance

E)50 sixth graders, 67 seventh graders, and 62 eighth graders

B) The same number of students from each grade whose names are randomly selected from a hat

E) 50 sixth graders, 67 seventh graders, and 62 eighth graders

Step-by-step explanation:

B) The reason B is correct is because if all grades get to pick, with the same amount of people from each grade, it would be fair for most, if not all, students.

E) E is correct because of percentages. Let me show you.
