Linda randomly surveyed 20 teachers at her school about whether they prefer chalkboards or dry erase boards. She repeated the survey three times with three different sets of teachers.
A 3-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 has entries Sample 1, Sample 2, Sample 3. Column 2 is labeled Chalk with entries 12, 9, 1. Column 3 is labeled Dry Erase with entries 8, 11, 19.
Which pair of Linda’s samples seems to have the lowest variability and, therefore, are representative samples?
samples 1 and 2
samples 1 and 3
samples 2 and 3
none of the samples
