Question

a poll taken in crestfield high schools cafeteria says that 38 % of the students like pizza best, 32% like hamburgers best, and 30% like hot wings best. You say that most of the students at crestfield like pizza the best. Your friend argues that you are wrong. Your friend is right. Explain his reasoning

Answer 1

Because your friend is right, there is a very likely chance that you didn't poll many people. Because you didn't poll everyone, you don't know the overall vote, making this poll inaccurate, and in this case, wrong.
