This is a valid sample since she only asked 5th graders.


This sample is valid because it is a Simple Random Sample.


This sample is invalid because it is a Systematic Random Sample.


This sample is invalid because it is a Convenience Sample.

Answer 1

I think this is invalid because it is a convenience sample. All of the 5th graders she asked were her friends, and they were all in the art club.
